If you have a free moment, UC Davis is hoping for birders to complete this survey:

They want to hear your thoughts on habitat protection for bird species that rely on grasslands and oak savannahs – two of California’s most threatened ecosystems.

Grassland and oak savanna habitats support many declining California bird species. Share your perspective as a birdwatcher to help guide conservation research and future habitat priorities.

Reminder that we have 4 pelagic birding and whale watching trips left this year!

The Steller Sunrise is a 43-foot US Coast Guard-inspected vessel featuring a spacious exterior walk-around deck, an enclosed bathroom, and a heated cabin, making it ideal for these 6- to 8-hour trips at sea (depending on conditions). Join us as we go offshore from Humboldt Bay in search of seabirds, whales, dolphins, and other wildlife. RRAS leaders will be on board to help spot and identify wildlife. These are very popular trips, are limited to 15 people per trip, and cost $150 per person, with discounts available for students. Field trip dates include: August 15th (Saturday), September 5th (Saturday), October 10th (Saturday), and November 21st (Saturday).

We'll be hosting monthly Pelagic trips again this summer!
