Welcome

This site is for folks interested in learning about Bay Area Birds.  Links above will give you details of Birding classes at Albany Adult School, Oakland Museum and other Bay Area sites.  You can find information about selected field trips through Golden Gate Audubon, and Special Topics like the Bird Censuses or Christmas Bird Counts.  Finally, "Bob's Travels" may give you some ideas for birding expeditions of your own. 

Participate in a County Big Year!

Alameda and Contra Costa County Birders are undertaking a big year. It's fun. Give it a try, and find a rarity!

North Richmond Shoreline Bird Census Completing

A lot of folks have censused the Richmond shoreline over the past year.  The study will come to an end in August, and a report will be forthcoming. 

A year ago, GGA completed a bird census of the new Eastshore State Park, and published a bird checklist.  Results of this census can be found on the GGA website.

There is a possibility that GGA will be running another MLK Census (to help understand the impact of a trucking terminal being installed next door) and another ESSP census (to help understand the impact of improvements to the park).  Stay tuned!  It's fun to help with these studies.
