Field Observation Seminar at Pescadero Marsh-Natural
Sciences
Friday, April 25, 10
a.m.–3 p.m.
A few spaces left. SIGN UP
NOW! Spend the day with wildlife tracker and naturalist Doniga Markegard
exploring Pescadero Marsh, south
of Half Moon Bay. Find out how the most elusive animals in the
forest detect danger and move secretly to avoid it – using
the language of the birds, the alarm system of the forest. Learn
to decipher what the birds are telling us about the location of
other animals, and what they have to say about our own patterns
of movement and awareness. Joining us will be Carson Bell, natural
sounds curatorial specialist, who will demonstrate how soundscape
recordings are made for the museum’s California Library of
Natural Sounds, and Christopher Richard, curator of aquatic biology.
We will explore the marshland trails, with short hikes on uneven
sandy terrain. We will be doing some still observations so there
will be an opportunity to sit and sketch. $75. Contact Nancy Stryble
at 510/339-1139 or stryble@earthlink.net.
