Weekday Trip:
De Forest Park & L.A. River
Long Beach
Wednesday, Sept. 8th, 8:30 a.m.
The fall migration for shorebirds should still be going strong in September, so please join us on Wednesday, September 8th for a trip to the LA River via De Forest Park in North Long Beach. We will meet at the tennis courts at 8:30 a.m. for a walk on the park’s modest nature trail and then go up to the river’s edge for a look at some of the shorebirds winging their way to their wintering grounds. When we did this in 2008, we saw Least, Pectoral & Baird’s Sandpipers, Red-necked Phalaropes, as well as a Warbling Vireo, a Yellow-green Vireo, a Sharp-shinned Hawk, and a Purple Martin. We will also have the option to caravan to the Dominguez Gap for Green and Great Blue Herons, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Nutmeg Mannikins and Orange Bishops.
Directions: Exit the 91 Fwy at Atlantic Avenue and head south to E. South Street. Turn right (west) and follow it to where it ends at De Forest Ave. Turn right and continue for a couple of blocks. The tennis courts will be on your left. Hope to see you there!

Birding in Southeastern Arizona & Northwestern Mexico
Presented by Sheri Williamson
Our featured speaker is Sheri Williamson of the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory. Sheri is the author of Peterson's "A Field Guide to Hummingbirds of North America" and other books.
Join us for a spectacular slide show and program about one of the "hot spots" that birders flock to!
About the speaker: SABO Naturalists/Directors Tom Wood and Sheri Williamson, a husband and wife team, came to Arizona from Texas in 1988 to manage The Nature Conservancy’s Ramsey Canyon Preserve. During their seven and a half years living and working in Ramsey Canyon, Tom and Sheri came to know and love the area's wildlife and became increasingly concerned for its future. Both independently and as representatives of TNC, they contributed to a variety of conservation projects, including rare species research and ecotourism development. Over time, the need for a grassroots conservation organization focused on science and education became apparent. Inspired by the work of the Cape May Bird Observatory, they left Ramsey Canyon Preserve in January 1996 to found the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory. Visit their website at: www.sabo.org
Sheri is excited to visit Southern California and anxious to meet as many birders as possible!
Join us on Thursday, September 16th at 7:30 p.m. at the El Dorado Nature Center, 7550 E. Spring St., Long Beach (between Los Alamitos Blvd. and Studebaker Rd.) Parking if free and refreshments will be served. Remember to bring your recyclable aluminum cans and plastic bottles to support chapter activities. |
