Event: Richardson Bay Center Waterbird ProgramDate: Tuesday September 08, 2015Time: 7:00 PMJoin us as we kick off our fall programs at the Fairfield-Cordelia Library with this presentation by Kerry Wilcox on the Waterbird Program at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Sanctuary in Tiburon. (NSAS Event) Details:Audubon California recently initiated a Waterbird Program housed at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary in Tiburon. This program focuses on protecting and enhancing populations of waterbirds found on San Francisco Bay such as Surf Scoter, Greater and Lesser Scaup and Western and Clark’s Grebes. The Center’s location on Richardson Bay, the annual closure of its Sanctuary to prevent boat disturbance, and a long history of educating the public and advocating for subtidal habitats such as eelgrass are essential to the program goals. Moving forward, the Center would also like to scale conservation actions up to San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Flyway in order to positively affect these remarkable birds during their entire life cycle. Kerry Wilcox is the Waterbird Program Manager at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary in Tiburon, CA. He has been working with Audubon since 2006, and prior to that was a biologist with the Institute for Bird Populations in Point Reyes Station. The program will be held in the Fairfield-Cordelia Library Meeting Room at 5050 Business Center Drive off of the Green Valley Road exit on Hwy 80 in Fairfield. submitted on August 08, 2015, at 03:08 AM PST |
