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. 

The Big Year is Over!

Alameda and Contra Costa County Birders celebrated the end of their Big Year efforts this month.  Check the links above for results.

EBRPD is looking for breeding bird censusers  (new)

There are plots in Tilden, Point Pinole and a few other parks. Request is to commit to three surveys per plot from April through July, 20 minutes each.  If you are interested in becoming a breeding bird survey volunteer please contact Sara Snyder at sarannsnyder@gmail.com.  You can still sigh up for next year!

A few years 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.
