About the Presentation

The Delta is a place of connections where rivers meet each other, where freshwater meets salt water, where ocean fish come inland, where birds from the north come for the winter, and where birds from the south come to breed. The Delta is also a place of complexity. How water interacts with land and forms soil is a complex process. How birds and fish find and utilize habitats are complex sets of instincts and signals. How humans use water and land contains a nest of complex pressures. All these connections and complexities play out on a daily basis throughout the Delta. Exploring the many wetlands, grasslands, and sloughs of the Delta is always a fascinating and beautiful adventure into this meeting ground of complexity. And these adventures have led to a book that Aaron has written titled: Birds of the California Delta. This book introduces the reader to the Delta and to a scattering of the birds that live and visit it. Aaron will be sharing this book, and his own birding experiences and knowledge.

More About Our Presenter

Aaron Haiman began birding when he was 6 years old, and his passion for birds has remained strong ever since. Following this passion has included volunteering for a variety of bird research organizations, undergraduate and graduate degrees studying birds, and working for the State of California as a Senior Environmental Scientist on ecosystem restoration. Aaron’s love of birds also takes him out birding on his own and with friends, old and new, and onto social media to share information and love of birds, nature, and science. Over the course of years and many birding trips, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) has become a very special place for Aaron.
