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.
