Our 2015 bird calendar is almost sold out!

Give yourself the gift of a bird-filled year… with our 2015 Birds of the SF Bay Area photo calendar!

The soaring power of a Peregrine Falcon in front of the Bay Bridge…the alert yellow eyes of young Great Horned Owls… a tree festooned with a flock of Cedar Waxwings… these are just a few of the inspiring images contributed to the calendar by the Bay Area’s best bird photographers.

Click the above button to order the calendar for $20 plus tax/postage from our online store. Or pick one up in person at our office (Mondays and Wednesdays, 9 am to noon and 1 to 5 pm ) or at our monthly Speaker Series.

The calendar makes a unique, personal holiday gift for avid birders or anyone who enjoys nature.  The supply is limited, so order yours now!

Along with the beautiful photos, the calendar include text sidebars about each month’s featured bird, with tips on  how to make your backyard, neighborhood, and community even more bird-friendly. It lists all major holidays plus dates and counties of rare/unusual bird sightings in Northern California. 

Each page is 9 x 12 inches (so when it is hanging on the wall, it is 12 inches wide and 18 inches high). It’s printed on 80# cover stock, not flimsy stuff like the free calendars you get in the mail. And the paper is certified as sustainably-forested by the Forest Stewardship Council, with 10% post-consumer fiber; all of the electricity used in manufacturing the paper is from certified renewable energy.

All proceeds go to benefit Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s conservation and education programs.

2014 Christmas Bird Counts

2014 Christmas Bird Counts

ByGGBA

Our 74th Oakland Christmas Bird Count took place on Sunday December 14: Read about it on our blog! The SF count will be on Tuesday December 30. Registration for the count is now closed, but we can still use a few more volunteers for the festive dinner after the San Francisco count on Tuesday evening December 30. Email nweeden@goldengatebirdalliance.org if you can volunteer, or click here for more information on the count and dinner.

If you’ve signed up for the count, you should be contacted by the team leader for your area sometime during the week before the count.

Now in its 115th year, the CBC is a classic Audubon tradition. It’s free! It’s fun! Plus the data on bird populations gathered by count participants is more important than ever. Scientists with National Audubon used CBC data as one of the key sources of information for their recent report on birds and climate change. Our efforts as citizen-scientists will provide a baseline and a way to track the effects of both climate change and conservation initiatives on Bay Area birds.
