The Changing Chorus: 50 Years of Bay Area Birds — What the Data Tell Us

Join GGBA Board Member Kenneth Hillan and Conservation Director Whitney Grover as they present a synthesis of long-term San Francisco Bay Area bird population trends, discuss what these changes mean for the future of Bay Area conservation, and introduce Bird Pulse, a tool that will allow birders to contribute directly protecting the birds of our region. We will also be joined by Matt Zlatunich and Jeff Manker, members of our San Francisco and East Bay Conservation Committees who produced county specific Bird Species of Species Concern documents. We’ll tie all these tools together and discuss how this work can translate into effective conservation action to bend the curve for Bay Area birds.

Kenneth Hillan, originally from Scotland, graduated in medicine from the University of Glasgow before making the Bay Area his home. A fervent advocate for our winged companions, he is passionate about working with others to create a world where birds and humans can flourish together. Kenneth is a graduate of the 2022 Golden Gate Bird Alliance & California Academy of Sciences master birding class and is currently a block leader for the Marin County Breeding Bird Atlas 2 project.

Date and Time: Thursday, June 18 (7-8:30pm)
