UPCOMING EVENT:
Lakeside Chat: June 5, 2026, 7 - 8:30 pm.  ZOOM
Lakeside Chat # 67 with Adrian Cotter  "Crowkland and San FRavencisco"
Summary: These smart fascinating birds are everywhere! Learn about their natural lives among us from Adrian Cotter, Naturalist and crow- raven maven.
Overview: We’ll explore corvids in the Bay Area focusing in on the American Crow and Common Raven. We’ll talk about them in the context of other corvids, and other true crows: learn some tips on ID-ing these two species; explore the most obvious of their behaviors: roosting and nesting; their intelligence; are they natives? Are they a pest? Murders, unkindesses, and more.
