*APRIL PROGRAM*
Tuesday, April 9, 2024
History of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta with a focus on historic stressors and restoration methods
Presented by Lynette Williams Duman
Lynette will discuss site history of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta with a focus on historic stressors and restoration methods. She will then discuss her ongoing research regarding wetland restoration and conversion in the Sac-SJ Delta and Suisun Marsh with an emphasis on food web processes and waterbird responses to landscape change.
Lynette is a 2nd year PhD student at UC Davis studying Ecology. She works on how waterbird and waterbird habitat may change with landscape-level wetland change in the Suisun Marsh. She is also passionate about food web ecology and fisheries science and seeks to integrate bird management with fisheries management.

We plan to cross the bridge to McDonald Island at 8:00 a,m, on April 14th. We need to cross the private bridge as a group. So, we’ll meet just outside the bridge. For directions, Google Maps for Tiki Lagoon Marina, which is right at the bridge. Bring water and food for yourself, as it’s not certain how long we will be birding. Toilet facility are not likely to be available.
Please confirm with me (<dfries.audubon...>) if you plan to go on the field trip. This way, we can wait at the bridge until all have arrived. We will drive most of the distance on the island but plan to park and walk several miles of the excellent bird habitat. Near the day of the field trip, I will send out an email to all

Hello,
The meeting point is a gravel parking lot in Ripon, located just east of the Jack Tone golf course parking lot.
In Google maps the address comes up as:
1260 S Jack Tone Rd, Ripon, CA 95366
If you drive south on Jack Tone Road the paved road will come to an end. Continue on the narrow gravel road and very shortly it will turn left and end in the parking lot.

SOUTH COUNTY BEGINNING BIRDWALK
Join leader Henry Koertzen for a beginner birding walk for folks if all ages. We will start at the gravel parking lot located at the south end of Jack Tone Road. We’ll be walking the smooth dirt/paved path, accessible by stroller or wheelchair.
First we will look for water and shore birds on the ponds, and then we will follow the path along the Stanislaus River. If we still have time and energy we will drive over to Oak Grove Park.
Note: there are no bathroom facilities on site.
