It is with a heavy heart that the Golden Gate Audubon Society Board and staff have decided to cancel all GGAS events, including our March and April Speaker Series as well as Birdathon, through the month of April. In the interest of public safety, GGAS will abide by public health authority recommendations for cancelling all events in the near future, especially since many of our members are over 65 and among the population at most risk from this illness.

Due to the fluidity of the situation, GGAS will continue to evaluate when it is safe to hold events. Check back with us at the end of April to see if the situation has changed. Please see our most recent News Post for more details regarding this impact.

For members in our Travel Program: please contact travelprogram@goldengateaudubon.org if you have any questions or concerns regarding domestic or international trips planned with GGAS. For further information, see our Travel With GGAS page.

Our office will remain closed to the public until further notice. For any urgent matters, please contact our Office Manager, Meshay Turner, at mturner@goldengateaudubon.org. Meshay is available by phone Monday through Thursday from 9 am - 5 pm. You may contact her at 510.843.2222 or 925.826.8713.

In the meantime, please take care. Follow us on social media to get a daily “fix” of bird news and photos, even if you’re stuck at home. We’ll miss seeing you in the field, and hope you can take some solace and joy from your backyard and neighborhood birds during this stressful time.

Lessons From A Tree

Birding While Sheltered in Place: Reflections

By Kathleen Murphy   My dad was a bird watcher. He could name species without a guide. When he passed, I saw my first blue bird and, of course, like every grieving human would do, I called out, "Dad!" I loved to look at the pictures in his guidebooks, but never had the patience … [Read More...]
