GGBA in the S.F. Chronicle

GGBA in the S.F. Chronicle

Golden Gate Bird Alliance has been all over the news this month!  On April 17, S.F. Chronicle columnist Chip Johnson wrote a great piece about our campaign to protect the nesting colonies of Black-crowned Night-Herons and Snowy Egrets in downtown Oakland.

And on April 21, the Chronicle ran a fun profile of GGBA member Alan Hopkins’s quest to spot 100 species of birds within walking distance of his home in San Francisco, as part of Birdathon.
