Discover the endangered and mysterious Marbled Murrelet, set in dramatic redwood old-growth forest with a local murrelet surveyor. This trip to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park near Orick is for early birds! The dawn chorus, Varied Thrush, and Pileated Woodpecker, accompanies pre-dawn flights of the murrelets. (Carpool, 90 miles round trip). Flat terrain, but wet. Restrooms available, will not stop for food. These birds are usually seen only in flight and therefore are difficult to get in a spotting scope. Plenty of other redwood forest birds can be enjoyed.

With the help of a local biologist, the elusive Ruffed Grouse was located on past field trips. Northwestern California forests are the only place in the state where the Ruffed Grouse is regularly found. The Hoopa Tribal lands just north of Willow Creek have a rich and diverse natural wildlife and human culture. (Carpool, 120 miles roundtrip. Truck or sport utility vehicle recommended.) Please carpool, disturbance of too many vehicles could scare the grouse away. This is our best chance for Ruffed and Sooty Grouse, and Mountain Quail.

This pre-breakfast trip is planned to catch the dawn chorus in full swing at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary. Birds are on the move at this time, so there will be plenty of birding action. The willows will have songbirds singing and the reed beds will have chattering Marsh Wrens and possibly rails. The trip leader will explain all vocalizations from the straight forward Mallard quack, and California Quail "Chi-CA-go" call, to the more intricate sparrow calls and chips. This trips is for everyone and will provide an introduction to the skill of birding by ear. Return to the Community Center for some "shade grown" coffee and local pastries to prepare for your next day trip.
Terrain is mostly flat on maintained trails but it may be muddy if there has been rain. Will not stop for food. Opportunity to use a spotting scope.[Repeats with different leader on Monday as event #98 and on Tuesday as event #103]

The Humboldt Bay Bird Observatory was established in 1982 by Dr. C. John Ralph and Dr. Carol Pearson Ralph. HBBO is adjacent to the Lanphere Dunes Unit of the Humboldt Bay NWR, bordered by Mad River Slough and coastal dune forest. This variety of habitats supports a high diversity of bird species. Bird populations and demographics have been monitored at the station continuously since 1982 making the Humboldt Bay Bird Observatory one of the longest running stations in the nation. Education and volunteer programs provide the opportunity to observe and learn about birds, bird monitoring, and research techniques. The banding program has grown into the Klamath Demographic Network that runs banding stations from southern Oregon through the Klamath and California north coast regions and south to Mendocino. Expect narrow trails & possibly wet ground. Will not stop for food, restrooms are available at the site.

|
|
This trip begins with a scenic drive north through the redwoods to Crescent City. Rendezvous at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park with participants from the Murrelet trip (reference Event #66). The harbor and rocky shore support an array of birds, including Tufted Puffin on Castle Rock, the West Coast’s third largest seabird colony. Visit Alexandre Dairy for shorebirds and Lake Earl for waterfowl. Point St. George could reveal some sealife, here as at Castle Rock a spotting scope is recommended. Crescent City harbor should have Red-breasted Merganser and Surf Scoter. The gull flock at the mouth of Elk Creek by the swimming pool is always worth a scan.
To ensure there are no lost parties the overlook at Castle Rock on Pebble Beach Drive will be the start point and we will be here for a while scanning for seabirds. This will take some time to get everybody on birds, and of course we will be hoping for a distant Tufted Puffin. This is one of the few places in California where Tufted Puffin can be viewed form shore. The drive form the Community Center is about 1 hour 40 minutes. Expect uneven terrain, rocky shorelines, and possibly wet ground. Please bring a lunch , will make a couple restroom stops.

Each raft holds 3 to 6 participants and is guided by one of the professional river guides of Redwoods and Rivers Rafting Company. The Lower Mad River is a great starting point, with rapids ranging from Class I to Class III (beginner’s level).

Witness the spectacle as flocks of thousands of shorebirds become tens of thousands, and then form a huge milling swarm as the last of the flats out by the old wharf footing and get covered. They then fly off low over the bay toward the west. North Humboldt Bay is a shorebird staging site clearly of hemispherical significance. The birds are colorful, are sexually charged, and are flying in an energetic manner not seen in fall or winter, plus they often give snatches of summer "song" and other utterances seldom heard at other times.

California Condors Beyond Contemporary Recovery Efforts: Rediscovering the Forgotten Northern Range
Since time immemorial the prey-go-neesh (California condor) has figured prominently in the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Yurok People. Condors have not soared the skies of northern California for over 100 years and the Yurok Tribe is currently engaged in a feasibility study to understand the potential for reintroduction. Chris West, the Yurok Tribe’s senior wildlife biologist, will discuss condor conservation, the history of the species in the Pacific Northwest, and current efforts to restore this enigmatic species to the full extent of its former range. There will be a short question and answer session at the end of the talk, and Chris and wildlife technician/Tribe member Tiana Williams will be available for additional questions and discussion at their table in the Godwit Days headquarters inside the Arcata Community Center throughout the Godwit Days weekend. For more information, visit http://www.yuroktribe.org/government/selfgovern/condorprogram.htm

Offers superb photographic opportunities, as the owls have become accustomed to human presence over the years they have been studied. The owls may be seen roadside, but more likely we will hike along a short but possibly steep, slippery trail. Wear hiking boots and dress in layers. Will not stop for food or restrooms. You may want to have a spotting scope available in your vehicle if we stop to scan for eagles, but it won’t be needed to see the owls.

This workshop will cover ID, vocalizations, and natural history of owls on the North Coast. Local biologists regularly survey for the Northern Spotted Owl and in many cases this has expanded into an interest in all nocturnal species. A slide show and CD-ROM of calls will familiarize you with North American owls. This workshop does not have a field component.
