Gull Study Workshop 24/26 Feb 2012 with Larry Allen

gull-study-workshop-2012-california-gull-with-ring-billed-gullSIGN-UP EARLY!

Friday, February 24
Gull Study Workshop-Lecture
$20 WORKSHOP FEE, LIMITED (20) SIGN-UP
This is a Ralph Schreiber Grant fund raiser.
Speaker Larry Allen will discuss most gulls that have appeared in North America – most of which have made it to California. So, if you’ve been avoiding gulls for the last decade (if that’s possible), hoping that they would migrate out of the Southern California region. Well, that’s not going to happen. But Larry has a kind touch when it comes to Gull I.D., and will rapidly get you up to speed with how to evaluate and identify our gulls. Larry will specifically address general aspects of gull topography, the confusing (but orderly) logic of molt sequences, and the finer aspects of identification to age and species. Slides, study skins and handouts will be used.
Lecture location: Room 5, Plummer Park Community Building, 7377 Santa Monica Blvd, W. Hollywood 90046. Time: 6-9:30 p.m., with one break.  Please park in the south lot (Santa Monica Blvd. at Martel Ave), so you don't get locked in.
Reservation Instructions: Provide $20 fee (mail to Los Angeles Audubon-Field Trips, PO Box 931057, Los Angeles CA 90093-1057) include your phone number and your e-mail address. This reserves you for the lecture & field trip (FT on Sun. Feb. 26.) We will send you an e-mailer with directions, if you don’t use e-mail, provide also an SASE. Lecture and field trip NOT offered separately. 20 maximum participants.

Sunday, February 26
Gull Study Workshop-Field Trip
Leader: Larry Allen. Put your new knowledge to use in the field, perhaps even identifying California & Ring-billed gulls as they fly overhead! Meet in the field at 7:45 a.m. and ogle the gulls until we’re all gull identification experts! Location will be determined and communicated during the lecture on Fri. Feb. 24. We will likely go to Doheny State Beach in Orange County, but perhaps elsewhere, depending on scouting. If we go to Doheny, it is a drive, but we have had large numbers of gulls on our workshops here, including a Glaucous and a Lesser Black-backed! Doheny Beach parking fee usually starts at 8:00 a.m. Bring a lunch. See above for reservation instructions. 20 maximum participants.

Bonelli Regional Park Bird Walk 28 Jan 2012

Saturday, January 28
Bonelli Regional Park (http://www.bonellipark.org/)
NO FEE, NO SIGN-UP
Leader: Rod Higbie (909) 599-6526. Bonelli Regional Park is a remarkable island of habitat. It contains extensive coastal sage habitat, along with a large lake surrounded by parkland.  Birds regularly seen in the past include California Gnatcatcher, Cactus Wren, dancing grebes, and occasionally Golden Eagle. 200 other species throughout the year. From LA, take the 10 or 210 Fwy east towards San Dimas to the top stretch of the 57 Fwy. Proceed N from the 10, or S from the 210 on the 57 Fwy to the Via Verde exit just N of the 10/57 interchange (at the bottom of Kellogg Hill). If coming from the N, turn left onto Via Verde, and left into the "Park and Ride" lot. If coming from the S, take the Via Verde offramp and proceed Rt. to the "Park and Ride" lot on the Rt. We will meet here at 7:30 a.m. to carpool since there is a $10.00/car park entrance fee. Rod will continue after lunch if there is interest. There are picnic tables and facilities. Bring lunch, if you plan to bird past noon.
 
 

Kill Your Lawn Comic Book

Kill Your Lawn Comic Book Cover

Students Aid Conservation Through Science Illustration!

"KILL YOUR LAWN" COMIC BOOK

During the summer of 2011, a core group of students in Los Angeles Audubon's Baldwin Hills Greenhouse Program completed artwork for the "Kill Your Lawn" comic book. This project was one aspect of the TogetherGreen Fellowship grant received by Los Angeles Audubon, and the goal was to create a comic-style brochure for the public about the conservation value of replacing lawn with native plant species. These students worked hard, dedicating five weeks of their summer break to the project, and they created outstanding comics that address the whys and hows of killing your lawn, how to care for native plants, and designing a food and native plant garden. We are extremely proud of the work these students have done! See the finished comics in the Kill Your Lawn Gallery. You can download the entire comic book here . Also, be sure to check out our facebook photo album with step-by-step details about  how the students created the comic book.
If you are interested in receiving a printed copy of this publication, please call (323) 876-0202 or email membership@laaudubon. Donations accepted!
