Welcome
Barrow's Goldeneye
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.
Alameda County 2012 Year List is being kept here!
Bob Richmond suggested we keep track of sightings. Take a look. Let either Bob know if you've a sighting that hasn't been recorded. We'll watch EBB for first sightings of bird species, and if you post there, we'll hopefully catch it!

BIRDATHON - April 2012
Many thanks to everyone who helped me exceed my fundraising goals. The birdathon dinner was a lot of fun, seeing a lot of old and new friends.
