LOCATION: Crete Hall, Hutchins Street Square – Lodi, CA
The Delta is a place where rivers meet one another, where freshwater meets salt water, where fish link inland forests with the open ocean, where birds from the north come for the winter, and where birds from the south come to breed. In the Delta, water interacts with land and forms soil in a complex process. Human use of water and land contains a nest of complex pressures. These connections and complexities play out daily. This talk will explore many of these connections and complexities with a focus on how they relate to the birds that make the Delta their home.
Aaron N.K. Haiman, author of Birds of the California Delta, has been a student of nature his entire life. He has spent countless hours birding across California and has lived and birded in the California Delta for over a decade. Aaron volunteered from a young age with numerous bird research organizations before attending UC Berkeley (BS in environmental science) then UC Davis (MS in avian science and a second MS in animal behavior). He is now working for the State of California.
Beyond his formal career, Aaron leads bird walks for a variety of organizations, mentors high school students on ecology and sustainability, leads a youth bird-a-thon team for Point Blue Conservation Science, gives presentations on birds and habitat restoration, has written for multiple science websites, and creates content for his own blog (abirdingnaturalist.wordpress.com),Instagram account (@abirding naturalist), and YouTube channel (@ABirdingNaturalist).
