Online Bird Art Auction!

Check out our first-ever online auction of bird art, open for bidding from May 17 through June 1! This auction will help close the budget gap created by cancellation of our spring Birdathon fundraising events due to Covid-19. It also supports talented bird artists who are facing their own economic challenges from the pandemic: We're splitting revenues with the artists, in most cases 50/50. And of course you'll get inspiring bird art for your home! Click here for more info or go directly to the auction site at goldengateaudubon.org/auction.

Mark your calendars: The first-ever GGAS online adult ed class is coming this fall. Bob Lewis and Bruce Mast will offer their acclaimed Evolution of Birds course via Zoom, with 1.5 hour lectures followed by half an hour of questions and answers and discussion. Registration opens June 3rd at 10 am. Please click here to learn more.

While our live programs currently remain on hold due to shelter-in-place, follow us on social media to get a daily “fix” of bird news and photos. Check out our entertaining Osprey Cam. Share our  shelter-at-home children's activities with the kids in your life, or read our Golden Gate Birder blog, filled with uplifting stories from our members during this difficult time.

Note: We are currently renovating our website, which means you may see missing images from time to time. We're doing our best to make improvements and we appreciate your understanding!
