Hi Birders, it's time to start thinking about Christmas Bird Counts. Please learn more and sign up to join us at https://smcbirdalliance.org/CBC.html . We need birders of all skill levels. Dates are:
Crystal Springs circle- Saturday, December 19, 2026
Año Nuevo circle – Saturday, January 2, 2027
We very much hope you will be able to join us in counting this year. As you know, our counts – and the countdown dinners - are usually a lot of fun, and these two CBCs rank highly in the national list of species counted. In 2025 137 people tallied 191 species on the Crystal Springs count, and 86 people counted 151 species on the Ano Nuevo count.

Online signups are available on The San Mateo County Bird Alliance (SMCBA) webpage https://www.sequoia-audubon.org/CBC.html

Great article for those of us who will be seniors, are seniors, or know older people (have I covered all of us?).

Birdwatching can help slow brain ageing and is increasingly being used as therapy for dementia patients.

There are open spots for tomorrow's outing at Filoli. It will be the last opportunity this year to enjoy the 2 - 2.5 mile moderate California trail before they add holiday festivities and increase admission. Registration link in comments.

In tonight’s meeting, someone asked if the birding guide, once converted to our new app, would still be usable on a web browser on a laptop.
Answer - yes.
Though we hope that you’ll also enjoy the flexibility of using the guide in the depths of the redwoods or the remoteness of the coast.

October is off to a great start with some excellent field trips and our FAVORITE speaker, Alvaro Jaramillo. This Thursday evening at 7:00 pm on Zoom, he'll talk about the endemics of the US and Canada. You don't want to miss his educational and entertaining presentation.

Then join us Friday morning at Hayward Regional Shoreline, Saturday at Colma Creek in SSF, Sunday at the Big Sit or members can participate in Nature Journaling at WSR. It'll be a great weekend. Links in comments!
