Please Come Join us this Thursday, April 9th for our April Speaker Series Birds of the California Delta with Aaron Haiman
Date: Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Location: Benicia Public Library

Our Speaker Series is in-person and via zoom for those viewing from afar, or unable to travel in the evening.

About the Program: Based on the new book, Birds of the California Delta, this talk will focus on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as a place of connections and complexities. This is a place where rivers meet one another, where freshwater meets salt water, where fish link inland forests with the open ocean, where birds from the north come for the winter, and where birds from the south come to breed. The Delta is also a place of complexity. How water interacts with land and forms soil is a complex process. How humans use water, and land contains a nest of complex pressures. All these connections and complexities play out on a daily basis throughout the Delta.

NSAS November speaker series presents Bob Lewis on Thursday, Nov. 13, 7:00 pm, Napa Valley Lutheran Church, 1796 Elm St., Napa.

Many birds are brightly colored, others use color for camouflage. How do these colors originate? What’s the difference between colors from pigments and physical colors?

A chemist by profession and avid bird (5500+ species), presenter Bob Lewis will unravel some of the mysteries of color in birds with a little chemistry, a bit of physics, and a lot of brightly colored slides.

Free and open to the public. If you can’t make it in person, check website for a Zoom link.

We’re proud to be a Founding Partner of California Bird Atlas () — a new nonprofit launching the first-ever statewide effort to map California’s breeding birds.

Forty-four other U.S. states have completed Breeding Bird Atlases — globally recognized tools that guide conservation and strengthen biodiversity. California is one of only six states without a statewide Atlas. That’s about to change!
