Sample Presenter

Bring your questions for Dr. Jay Lund and Dr. Greg Golet who will present a broad look at the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta - winter home for thousands of Pacific Flyway Sandhill Cranes.  They will discuss the impact of a changing climate on this remarkable region, followed by audience questions.

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.

Did you know there is a nesting pair of Bald Eagles at Lake Natoma? Meet Kathy Kayner, a wildlife photographer and an amazing storyteller, to learn about a pair of Bald Eagles that have been nesting on the American River Parkway within the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. The Bald Eagle family consists of an adult pair, “Mama and Papa”, who have, since 2017, successfully hatched 21 eaglets from a nest in a gray pine tree that overlooks Lake Natoma.

Dr. Ivey’s presentation will focus on issues facing the Sandhill Crane populations that winter in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, sharing insights from his extensive research.  He will discuss the behavior, distribution, biology, and conservation requirements of the three Sandhill Crane subspecies in the Pacific Flyway that we see locally.
