Welcome
Barrow's Goldeneye
This site is for folks interested in learning about Bay Area Birds. Links above will give you details of Birding classes at Golden Gate Audubon and other Bay Area sites. You can find information about selected field trips through Golden Gate Audubon, and Special Topics like the Bird Censuses or Christmas Bird Counts. Finally, "Bob's Travels" may give you some ideas for birding expeditions of your own.
Alameda County 2012 Year List is being kept here!
Bob Richmond suggested we keep track of sightings. Take a look. Let either Bob know if you've a sighting that hasn't been recorded. We'll watch EBB for first sightings of bird species, and if you post there, we'll hopefully catch it!
County Big Year Results available
Alameda and Contra Costa County Birders celebrated the end of their Big Year efforts in January 2009. Check the links above for results.
