Birds of the California Delta
Guest Speaker: Aaron Talbot

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.

Please RSVP below by 6pm the evening prior. Space is limited. Parking and admission are free, but donations are encouraged ($5-$20 per person recommended). Complete your liability waiver in advance for faster check-in.
