Some may find late fall and winter in Northern California chilly and damp, but for avian visitors from the far north, the coast and wetlands of the Central Pacific Flyway are just so many destination resorts. More and more shorebirds, ducks, geese and raptors begin to appear in November and remain in varying numbers throughout the winter months.

An hour's walk around Spring Lake can give a good sample of this. So, too, can a quick stop at wetlands along Highway 101 in Corte Madera or Rush Creek north of Novato, where traffic whizzes by, but 15 minutes of birding can provide well over that number of species. However, two very special places call for a day or a weekend visit at least once in late fall or winter (see the Calendar for MAS outings): Bodega Bay and the Sacramento Valley.

Bodega Bay is an area unequalled in its diversity and numbers, to the extent that it has global recognition as an Important Bird Area. The habitat is variable, from sheltered marshy ponds to rocky shoreline, mudflats, deep water and the windswept cliffs of Bodega Head.

Just south of the town of Bodega Bay, the Doran Beach Road passes a stretch of water known as Doran Pond. Ducks gather here in winter-Gadwall, American Wigeons and Green-winged Teal-joined by large shorebirds such as American Avocets and Marbled Godwits, the latter massed together in sometimes amazing numbers. Scopes are most helpful, since a closer look might turn up the bright orange and yellow head of the rarer Eurasian Wigeon.

A tour of the harbor to the north and west along Westside Road provides an ever-changing panorama. The north end "harbors" ducks-Ruddy Ducks, Bufflehead and scaup, as well as geese, gulls, terns, loons and grebes. Scoters linger near Campbell Cove at the south end of the harbor, and Black Brant cluster in the middle. Again, a scope can often turn up rarities among the regulars.

Five species of grebe and three of loons are potentially found here; in midwinter you can hone your skills identifying these in their drab winter plumage. In November, however, they frequently arrive in breeding plumage, and suddenly Horned and Eared grebes truly distinguish themselves. Watch for Forster's Terns, with their graceful flight and spectacular dives.

Ken Wilson, co-chair of Madrone Audubon's Christmas Bird Count, advises following the tidal patterns when birding at Bodega Bay. As the tide goes out, the waterfowl move with the tide and shorebirds fly in to feed on the exposed rocks and mudflats of the harbor.

Black and Ruddy Turnstones (Ruddy Turnstones also show their bright plumage in the late fall) poke through the rocks, along with the occasional Willet, Whimbrel and Long-billed Curlew. The mudflats begin to fill up with Western and Least Sandpipers, Sanderlings, Dunlins, Semipalmated Plovers, dowitchers, and usually a few Red Knots. Dramatic moments come when a Peregrine Falcon arrives on the shore to find a meal. Small shorebirds are good prey, and so is, according to Ken, an occasional duck.

The greatest winter show of all is a few hours away but nonetheless worth at the trip. Approaching the Sacramento National Wildlife Complex near Williams on Highway 5, long lines of waterfowl come into view overhead. Even though there remains only a small portion of the habitat used by wintering birds for thousands of years, several million ducks, geese and other migrating birds continue to visit this area.

The Sacramento, Delevan and Colusa Refuges are easily accessible from Highway 5. The Sacramento Refuge has a short marsh hiking trail, but visitors there are otherwise limited to auto touring, with a few specific viewing areas and platforms. Here there are species rarely seen in Sonoma County-Ross's Geese, Snow Geese, Tundra Swans, and White-faced Ibis-along with an unusually large concentration and variety of raptors, such as Rough-legged and Ferruginous Hawks, Peregrine and Prairie Falcons, and the occasional Bald Eagle. Touring the rural roads around the refuges will usually bring at least one sighting of statuesque Sandhill Cranes.

It's a good plan to stay at the refuges until dusk, in order to witness the "Flyout", when, as if at a given signal, huge numbers of waterfowl rise from the ponds to fly into the fields to feed during the night. It is a spectacular sight and a timeless one, a connection to the great valley's natural past.

Go native in the garden this fal!

In Sonoma County the time to plant is fall, rather than spring. Because the soil remains warm and the start of the autumn rains brings moisture to the soil, new plantings have the opportunity to put down roots for a couple of months before the weather turns truly cold and soggy. They then have a head start before they respond with enthusiastic growth to the sunny days of spring.

This is especially true for California native plants, which are the plants best adapted to our Mediterranean climate. Our climate is one of five similar in the world. Australia, South Africa, the Mediterranean countries and several South American countries are the other areas of the globe that share a growing season like ours, with mild wet winters and hot dry summers.

Because of these adaptations, plants from Greece or Australia, for instance, do well here in our terrain. Lavenders and Australian fuchsia are good examples of drought-tolerant, hummingbird and bee nectar plants that can be successfully planted now. Other favorites include California holly (toyon), Pacific dogwood, redwoods, spice bush, Western redbud, California wild lilacs (ceanothus), sages, and manzanitas, many of which are visited by hummingbirds and other birds in the early spring.

Planting can be done right up through January. Many of our natives need good drainage and full sun/part shade. However, always check from which part of California the plant comes, as some are from shady woodlands, some even from boggy areas. This will determine where in your yard it should be planted or if it is even appropriate for your yard. The selection is large; watch for sales at our local nurseries. You should be able to find plenty of bird-friendly plants for your particular microclimate.

Two books on growing California native trees, shrubs, vines, perennials and annuals are helpful in instructing us with which plants provide nectar, seeds, berries, nuts or fruits for birds and when they are on the plant. These are: Growing California Native Plants by Marjorie G. Schmidt, published by the University of California Press and the Complete Garden Guide to the Native Perennials of California by Glenn Keator, published by Chronicle Books of San Francisco. They are both available at the local California Native Plant Society general meetings. The newest edition of Sunset's Western Garden Book is also very helpful.

Especially for the hummers…

Anna's hummingbirds, our year round hummer, may nest as early as the end of winter. They have a tough time finding nectar plants at that time of year. Our sugar-water feeders become of great importance, as do the little insects and spiders from which they get their protein. There are several shrubs and perennials that can be planted now to provide our hungry hummers with late winter blooms. They are our native manzanitas; rosemary; grevilleas from Australia; our native currents and gooseberries (the genus Ribes); a wildflower called milkmaids (Dentaria californica), also called toothwort, which is in the mustard family; and our native island snapdragon (Galvezia speciosa) from the Channel Islands. The bees and hummingbirds also find nectar in the sweet, cream-colored flowers of the California bay laurel tree in early February.

The tiny Allen's hummingbirds will be back in Sonoma County in early February from their Central America sojourn. They too need nectar, as their nesting will start in March.

Hummingbird feeders should be kept filled all winter long with a dilute mixture of four parts water, one part white sugar. No red coloring is necessary, nor should you use honey or brown sugar. Keep the feeder clean and mildew-free by washing it often with a brush dipped in baking soda.

It was a cool fall day on a remote corner of an obscure tract, not too far from here, and I was checking out the location of a road and beating myself to death on ridiculously steep ground. I had found the brass plaque, in place but out of place, at the most remote point, hiding under a manzanita in a spot too steep to sit. So I kept on walking…well, tumbling, downhill, then clambering uphill to the next site.

The old road wound around the mountains, tucking its curves into the land's crenulations. A case of the earth hugging the road.

As I crested onto it, a noise came from further above. A funny noise. Scratching and gurgling. Calling and mumbling. Shuffling and scuffling. From many points all at once, irregular, so now it's here and then it's there. I was surrounded by a noisy invisible. And it was slowly tumbling, at me.

I try to be aware of my surroundings, knowing that cougars and bears and wild pigs are out there. I try to keep my senses sharp-this doesn't work when hyperventilating uphill. But, satisfied this wasn't a pig troupe or a porcupine orgy, the truth did out. I was about to be surrounded by a flock of turkeys.

Whenever I hear the sound of air moving through the wings of birds-that soft, shuffling sound of a breeze moving though a tight vent-I know I'm having a good day.

My back up against the road bank, sitting under the overhanging trees and brush, the turkeys moved over me, jumping off the high bank and half gliding, a quarter flying and a quarter falling, they bumbled onto the far side of the road and down the hill.

Still pecking at the madrone leaves, looking for seeds or acorns or worms, they moved past me for a few minutes. My blind was good-they never caught on.

Grab those moments to hear wind in wings.

Sometimes it's a raven moving through. Sometimes it's the squeaky wings of a covey of quail. It could be the wing beats of ducks when they land on water, or the swift pass of a low hawk. It can be a low and broad sound, like the slow flapping of a great blue heron, or a sustained whisper, as from a low-flying vulture. Sometimes it's the fast fluttering of a flock of sparrows, rustling and tittering along an inland shoreline. It could even be the frenzied flapping of a hummingbird, so fast the beats turn into a buzz.

The sound is the wing working. Slowing the air below and speeding the air above, the wing works because it squeezes the air. But looking up, it always seems the breathy noise derives from the fingers of the wings, the trailing feathers scratching lightly through the sky.

Looking up at those turkeys, tumbling down, their wings working whispers in the fall forest…this, I thought, this is a good day.

(A Healdsburg forester and the author of "Sonoma Mandala," Fred Euphrat will be the featured speaker at Madrone Audubon's annual dinner next May.)

In these troubled times since the terrorist attacks on September 11, we all take pause and reflect on how very fragile our world is. We at Madrone extend our deepest sympathies to you who have been directly affected by these events. Words cannot convey the personal loss and shock that we all experienced on that tragic Tuesday morning. We believe that those individuals responsible for this tragedy should be brought to justice. Just as important, we hope and pray that people around the world will come to a renewed understanding of the value of life. Our world is held together in a very delicate balance and will require all of us to do our small part to preserve it for future generations.

Our long-time membership chair, Karen Nagel, is "retiring" as of this issue. Her good work over the years has been invaluable to Madrone Audubon. For the past few months she has been helping Liz Thach with the transfer of the chapter's records and Liz is now taking over this important post. Please note the change of address for new members and Leaves subscriptions on the back of your newsletter.

We welcome Susan Williams, whose position as Director of the Bodega Marine Laboratory makes her a key player in the management of the Bodega Bay ecosystem, one of our most important bird habitats. She will speak on "Estuarine Health: Non-native species and how they impact our estuaries."

Susan Williams is a professor of Environmental Science and Policy at UC, Davis, and came to the Marine Lab in August of 2000. She has an extensive background in research and administration, and was previously head of the Coastal and Marine Institute at San Diego State.

Plant and animal interaction in coastal marine ecology is her major research topic, and she is one of a group of Bodega scientists who have just won a $6 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish a Western center for estuarine health.

The meeting begins at 7:30 PM on Monday, November 19 at the First United Methodist Church, 1551 Montgomery Drive, Santa Rosa. As always, the public is invited to these programs.

Sunday, November 11, 1:30 to 3:30 PM. Explore the mud flats at Bodega Harbor with renowned naturalist and marine biologist Peter Leveque.
Join us as we get up close and personal with all the wonderful creatures that call this goopy habitat their home. Race clams, hunt for crabs and search for the elusive moon snail, or just play in the puddles left behind as the tide goes out.
Participants in our outdoor programs should be sure to dress in layers and be aware that there may be chilly breezes near the coast. Bring water, hats, sunscreen and snacks. Wear rubber boots or other sturdy shoes that can get wet and muddy.

Sunday, December 1, 10:30 to 1:30 PM. Winter Bird Extravaganza.
Do you like birds? Do you want to learn more about your local birds and what you can do to help them? Join us at the Central Library in Santa Rosa to learn how to identify common local birds, make bird feeders and treats, play bird games, see live birds up close and much more!

NOTE: Advance reservations are required for each program. Call Claire at 527-6118 for reservations and directions.

Pee Wee Report-Hawk Hill, September 23

We saw hawks that were up close in cans, only their big long tails sticking out. They had yellow legs and sharp talons. They said, "Can I get out of the can now?" 'cuz they wanted to smell the fresh air again and find food. The lady had to swing the hawk around and hold onto its legs so it wouldn't fly away.

Madrone Audubon Society will hold its 35th annual West Sonoma County Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, December 30. All are welcome to join the count, which has consistently registered a high enough number of species to be placed in the top ten counts for Northern America. We would once again like to have your help to continue this tradition. If you have counted before we will send you an invitation in the mail. If you have changed your address since the last count or have not counted with us before, please contact Russ Agnew 823-7555 or Ken Wilson 795-7547.
Our count is centered in the Salmon Creek watershed and ranges from west of Sebastopol to the coast and from just north of the Russian River, south to Estero Americana (see map). We expect to divide about 140 counters among 20 groups, so join with old friends or meet new ones for a great day of birding that will finish up with a delightful potluck at the end of the day.

And also…
The Santa Rosa Christmas Bird Count, sponsored by the Redwood Region Ornithological Society, will take place on Sunday, December 16. Counters are needed, including some for one area that was formerly counted by the late Doug Ellis. If you are interested in participating, please call Ted Eliot, the Santa Rosa CBC compiler, at 935-3410, or send him an e-mail at <patted@sonic.net>.

And there's even one on Thanksgiving!
A slightly different bird count is conducted all across the country on Thanksgiving Day. It only takes an hour of your time, and you can do it at home. You choose an area 15 feet in diameter and count the birds that pass through or over the area for an hour. For information and bird count forms, contact Humboldt State University professor John G. Hewston at 822-5288.

Point Reyes, Wednesday, September 19

It was a foggy, damp, cold day as 13 happy birdwatchers joined Richard Hurley for a day of birding at Point Reyes. Ten different warblers were reported [Bird Box, (415) 681-7422] at the lighthouse the day before, but due to a thick ground fog we couldn't even see our binoculars in front of our faces. We beat a fast retreat to the Nunez Ranch cypress grove where (all praise to the birding gods) the fog lifted enough for us to spot the Black-throated Blue Warbler, the Chestnut-sided Warbler, the Blackpoll Warbler and the American Redstart. Smiles all around.

Hawk Hill, Thursday, September 27

With unusually good luck Hawk Hill was clear and breezy after nine birders, including leader Diane Hichwa, plunged through 101 traffic and Santa Rosa fog to get there. The hawks moving about were Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks, Kestrel, and Red-tailed Hawks, visible from above, below and beside, with a spectacular pass directly overhead by an immature Ferruginous Hawk. From the hill we also saw a Band-tailed Pigeon and a well-patterned White-throated Swift. Including the Rodeo Lagoon area we tallied 34 species. The hawks added were Northern Harrier and White-tailed Kite, but well-lit views of Wrentit and Pacific Slope Flycatcher at a distance of five to ten feet excited everyone.

Point Reyes, Saturday, September 29

On a sunny, windy day, 16 birders joined Jim and Jean Tonascia at Bear Valley Visitor Center to bird the Point Reyes area, finding 65 species. The highlights included watching a Ferruginous Hawk perform and getting close views of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher at the Fish Docks.

Howarth Park and Spring Lake, Wednesday, October 3

Eighteen birders, including two pre-teens, joined Betty Groce at Howarth Park on a glorious fall day. The combination of the two locations provided us with 46 species, most of which were seen very well. The group was treated to a nice view of a flock of Cedar Waxwings, enhanced by the morning sun. Also of note was a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks, a Common Moorhen, a female Western Tanager and a Townsend's Warbler. The youngsters got a kick out of our efforts to get a very actively feeding Pied-billed Grebe in a scope.

Bodega Bay, Thursday, October 11

On a foggy, windy, partly cloudy day, 19 hardy birders accompanied leader Don McCarthy to bird Bodega Bay and Bodega Harbor. We located 75 species. The most notable bird we found was an Orchard Oriole on Bay Flat Road. At Campbell Cove a Barn Owl was flushed out of the willows north of the pond. Everyone had a fine view of the owl. It was a great day with good people.
