Saturday Walk – Cedar Grove, Kings Canyon CANCELED
May 23 @ 6:45 am – 5:00 pm

This trip has been canceled due to the corona virus pandemic.

Please join Fresno Audubon on Saturday, May 23 on a day trip to Kings Canyon National Park. The first leg of the trip will take us to Grant Grove and the surrounding areas. We will stop at the Grant Grove Visitors’ Center and explore the meadow adjacent to the parking lot. After exploring the area around the Visitors’ Center, we will head to the Grant Tree Trail. We will next head further north on Highway 180 toward Cedar Grove. The drive from the Grant Tree Trail to Cedar Grove is approximately 26 miles, and will take us through a variety of habitats, including chaparral, riverine, rocky outcrops, oak woodlands, and coniferous forests, all of which are usually very productive! Target species for the day include White-throated Swift, White-headed Woodpecker, Hermit, MacGillivray’s and Black-throated  Gray Warblers, Pacific-slope Flycatcher, California Thrasher, Western Tanager, Lazuli Bunting, and so many more! We will meet at 6:45 AM in the parking lot of the Walmart at Blackstone and Ashlan.  As there is a $35/vehicle fee to enter Kings Canyon National Park, we will carpool as much as possible. Please bring a parks pass if you have one! This trip is expected to last until approximately 4:30 or 5:00 PM. Please be sure to dress in layered clothing, and to bring a hat, binoculars, sunscreen, lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. Please reach out to trip leader Rachel Clark at 515-357-0122 or tanagergirl@gmail.com with any questions!

Natural History of Fresno-Area Birds ⏤ Virtual General Meeting

Register for Fresno Audubon General Meeting November 10th 7:00pm
This meeting will be broadcast online via Zoom with guest speaker Jeff Davis Register to receive login information.

New to Zoom? Check out all you need to know here before the meeting.

Reading the Fresno-Madera Birds column of The Yellowbill might give you the impression that rarities are the only birds worthy of our attention.  Pursuing rarities is exciting because it offers the opportunity to discover new occurrences, develop and demonstrate birding skills, build lists, and grow friendships with other advanced birders.  However, even common birds can inspire curiosity.

Jeff Davis has compiled, reviewed, and summarized records of Fresno and Madera county birds for the Fresno Audubon Society for more than 15 years.  He has served as an editor for eBird and North American Birds for nearly as long.  Those activities focus on documenting the occurrence and distribution of rare birds.  In this talk, however, he will discuss the natural history of our area’s more common birds, addressing aspects of their plumage, behavior, changing distributions, migratory patterns, and populations.

Additionally, we will  provide information on plans for virtual field trips!
