SUMMARY:Malibu Creek State Park - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Kathy and Dave \nParticipants in this outing will enjoy a leisurely stroll along Malibu Creek\, its oak and sycamore woodlands set amidst a stunning backdrop of chaparral-covered slopes and rocky buttes. Birds\, deer\, bobcat\, butterflies\, reptiles and\, in season\, a bewildering array of wildflowers can be found in this jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains\, now mostly recovered from the devastating Woolsey fire.  Our focus will be on finding and identifying many of the over 200 species of birds that have been recorded here.  You can expect to see thirty to fifty species during these three to four hour walks\, depending on the season.  Common resident species include Acorn Woodpecker\, Oak Titmouse\, California Quail\, and White-breasted Nuthatch\, and spring brings us Black-headed Grosbeak\, Blue Grosbeak\, and Lazuli Buntings. Meet at the main lot\, which is the second (lower) day-use parking lot per the Google map.  Entrance to the park is on the west side of Las Virgenes Road\, just south of Mulholland Hwy. \nEntrance fee is $12 per car. Click location below for more about MSCP and an Accessibility Note. \nWalks will be cancelled in the event of rain. If you’re unsure whether a walk is taking place\, please contact your walk leaders at 747-237-3720. \n\n

SUMMARY:O’Melveny Park Bird Walk - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:O’Melveny Park and the trails which begin there into Bee Canyon provide an interesting contrast. The park is home to an orange grove and trails through sycamores and alders. The Bee Canyon trail is chaparral and riparian area set between high rock walls. The last rest area for birds going north over the Santa Susana Mountains\, this is an excellent migrant trap. \nThe park is named after Henry W. O’Melveny\, in 1927 one of the original members of the California State Parks Commission. Originally called C.J. Ranch\, O’Melveny Park was purchased in 1941 by attorney John O’Melveny of O’Melveny & Myers and later acquired by The Trust for Public Land and turned into a park. \nAt 675 acres\, O’Melveny Park is the second largest public park in Los Angeles after Griffith Park. O’Melveny Park is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. \nThe park is unstaffed. It provides large grassy areas\, picnic tables\, and is known for its extensive hiking and horse trails and the stunning views they lead to. Near the entrance is a grove of citrus trees. \nAccessibility at O’Melveny Park\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Parking\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Restrooms\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Benches (Shaded in Spring/Summer)\n				\n		\n\nThe outing is approximately two-thirds accessible\, with some travel on manicured lawns. Midway through\, we transition to hiking up hillside trails. Those who prefer not to hike can relax on shaded benches or conclude their outing at that point. Upon our return\, we take a different route back to the starting point. \nDirections: Take the 118/Ronald Reagan Freeway and exit at Balboa Blvd. Turn north\, driving two miles to Sesnon\, turn left going west 0.6 miles\, turn right at park entrance. Meet in the parking lot. \nEvents may be canceled due to inclement weather. If you’re unsure whether a walk is taking place\, please contact your walk leader at 747-237-3720.

SUMMARY:In Person/Zoom Event: Behind the Scenes of Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education
DESCRIPTION:Join Jaclyn DeSantis\, Education Program Manager at the Ojai Raptor Center\, for an engaging presentation that takes you into the world of wildlife rehabilitation and education. Through a captivating slideshow and videos\, Jaclyn will share an inside look at the rehabilitation process for injured and orphaned raptors. She’ll discuss the most common reasons these birds are admitted\, trends in species seen over the years\, and the criteria used to release them back into the wild. \nIn addition\, Jaclyn will introduce key aspects of the center’s education program\, using biofacts and mounts of native raptors. These specimens will highlight specific rehabilitation considerations for each species and provide insights into their care in both rehab and human care settings. \n \nJaclyn’s creative career took a turn in 2007 when rescuing an injured opossum led her to wildlife rehabilitation. She apprenticed with Kimberly Stroud and Peter Triem\, attended various wildlife conferences\, and studied with experts worldwide. In 2010\, Jaclyn became the first staff member at the Ojai Raptor Center (ORC)\, managing the wildlife hospital and education program. By 2020\, ORC expanded\, and Jaclyn focused on the education program\, promoting biodiversity and conservation. \nJaclyn is a certified environmental educator with AEOE and a licensed wildlife rehabilitator with IWRC. She is also a member of NWRA\, CCWR\, NEEA\, and IAATE. \n\nAttend Our Hybrid Meeting!\nCome in Person:\nTarzana Community and Cultural Center\n19130 Ventura Blvd\nTarzana\, CA 91356-3225\nDoors Open: 6 pm\nRefreshments Served \nOR \nJoin by Zoom: \nPlease sign up below if you’d like to be notified of this and other upcoming Zoom events.

SUMMARY:Hansen Dam Bird Walk
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.
