1 ; VOL. 49 February, 2018 NO. 6 General Meeting, February 5 7:30 pm Western Foundation A bird by any other name. Have you every wondered why a Three-wattled Bellbird is so named? Or have you questioned why an American Robin is not a Rusty-breasted Thrush? And why in the world are there names like buzzard, bustard, ptarmigan, cristicola, seedsnipe, camaroptera, bulbul, Phainopepla, Ring-necked duck, phalarope and sputzie? Join Thomas J. Hinnebusch, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and African languages, Department of Linguistics, UCLA, to hear about where those names come from. His talk will be illustrated with his own photographs. Conservation by Dee Lyon Great Backyard Bird Count More than 200,000 citizen scientists counted birds in Febuary of The counts showed early spring migrations and even some reports of breeding displays. Red-winged blackbirds were more numerous than usual. One hundred thirty-two countries participated. Columbia took the top species count prize with 955 species, followed by India with 801 species, Mexico with 774 species, Ecuador with 681 species and the US with 671 species. This year the GBBC is February In order to learn more and participate just go to February 3 8:00 am Malibu Lagoon 5 5:15 pm Pre-meeting dinner Ottavios 5 7:30 pm General Meeting WFVZ 10 8:00 am Cal Lutheran University 14 8:00 am Beginning Bird Walk Rancho Sierra Vista/ Satwiwa Carrizo Plain 23 7:45 am Mugu Lagoon Save the Date March 24 Auction/Dinner Our 50 th Anniversary Western Tanager by Don Klabunde ***Pre meeting Dinner*** Ottavio s in Camarillo at 5:15 pm Call Nobuko McClure For Reservations (805) Reservation Deadline: 9:00 am Day of General Meeting

One attends at one s own risk. Saturday, February 3, 8:00 am Malibu Lagoon Restoration of the previously impaired Malibu Lagoon was completed on March 31, Come see how this coastal estuary, featuring channels, open river and coastline, has recovered nearly five years later. The 2016 report documenting restoration progress noted that increases in abundances and species richness of waterbirds has occurred with restored channel habitats. The highest number of individual birds observed since monitoring began was recorded. We can expect to see waterfowl, grebes, loons, gulls, terns and shorebirds. We will also see raptors, sparrows, wrens, warblers, gnatcatchers and flycatchers. Expect as many as species, with good weather and good luck. Carpool from Rancho Park-and-Ride in Thousand Oaks at 7;15 am or meet outside the lagoon on PCH at 8 am. Trip leader: Dee Lyon (805) Saturday, February 10, 8:00 am Cal Lutheran University This lovely campus at the edge of the Mount Clef Open Space property offers much to explore. Join us as we seek encounters with up to four wren, ten sparrow, ten raptor and two gnatcatcher species. Perhaps we will see the endangered California gnatcatcher! Other possible sightings include meadowlarks, roadrunners, warblers and thrashers. To carpool, meet at the Las Posas Park and Ride at 7:30 am. Otherwise take Hwy 101 to the Lynn Rd. Exit and travel north 3.8 miles to Mountclef Blvd. (Lynn Rd. becomes Olsen Rd. near the campus). Travel north on Mountclef Blvd. to the end of the road. We ll meet at the trailhead at 8:00 am.

It s been designated as an Audubon Important Bird Area. We will be looking forward to Mountain Bluebirds and large flocks of Horned Larks as we bird along Soda Lake Road. Golden Eagles, Ferruginous Hawks and Rough-legged Hawks winter here and so our eyes will be skyward much of the day. We ll also search for Mountain Plovers and LeConte s and Sage Thrashers. The group will meet at the junction of Soda Lake Road and Highway 166 at 8:00 on Saturday morning. Bring your lunch, water and snacks. If there is interest some of us may camp at the KCL campground.
