SUMMARY:Hansen Dam
DESCRIPTION:Hansen Dam is a huge area with varied habitat\, and like the Sepulveda Basin is part of the City of Los Angeles flood control infrastructure operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Unlike the Sepulveda Basin\, in the event of heavy and prolonged precipitation water may be retained behind Hansen Dam for prolonged periods. This means it is not possible to follow the same route for all outings. In general they cover between 1 and  3 miles\, and will be geared to the abilities of participants. \nReportedly over 280 species of birds have been seen at Hansen Dam\, which holds the record for most species seen in a day in the San Fernando Valley at 120. The area we traverse is largely riparian adjacent to the lake and swamp\, but also includes grassy lawns dotted with trees\, Tujunga Creek\, and the large rock rip-rap areas extending out from the dam (Rock Wrens!). Typically we see 30-50 species there on an outing\, and it can be interesting. For example diving ducks in a parking lot submerged under 3’ of water! \nOutings are on the fourth Saturday of every month at 8 AM. Please meet at the Ranger Station.  Walks will be canceled in the event of rain. If you’re unsure whether a walk is taking place\, please contact your walk leader at batesbird@gmail.com or call 747-237-3720.

SUMMARY:A Bird Sit with Nature Journaling
DESCRIPTION:A Bird Sit is an alternative approach to birding. Instead of extended walking and standing\, it involves finding a comfortable spot in nature to sit\, slow down\, be in the moment\, and notice details and behavior patterns. \nA Bird Sit is not list-driven. It is not always trying to get the next bird. It is a way of expanding your awareness of and connection to birds (and all of nature!)  And recording your Bird Sit experiences in a journal using words\, numbers\, and/or pictures can be very rewarding! \nIf you would like to mindfully connect with birds and all of nature\, join us at the picnic tables near the restrooms. What to bring: binoculars\, a journal\, something to write/draw with and a beverage/snack. \nThis event is limited to 10 people. To reserve your spot\, contact Teri Carnesciali at teri.carnesciali@sfvaudubon.org or Mary Lou Sharp at mary.lou.sharp@sfvaudubon.org. \nIn the event of rain\, extreme temperatures or high winds\, the bird sit will be moved to the 3rd Thursday. If you’re unsure whether a bird sit is taking place\, please contact Teri or Mary Lou to confirm.
