For our next Carpinteria Birdwatchers meeting, special guest Linus Blomqvist will tell us about a project he’s recently been involved in, monitoring the movement of seabirds (mostly) from the remote and hard-to-reach Point Conception, the prominent headland that divides the waters of Southern California from the coastline to the north.
Update: In part 2 of our meeting, Hugh Ranson will talk about the amazing fall birding that’s been happening lately at Scorpion Harbor on Santa Cruz Island.
The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20, 2022. See you there via Zoom or YouTube livestream.

Checkout the geese at T Time. Think they might be the Greater White-fronted Goose? Counted 12 at 2 pm. Very little fear of golfers.
Yeah, Greater White-fronted Geese. I only saw 11, but I didn’t hang around; there could have been another one that I missed nearby.
