Migrations have been integral to wild and human lives on Oona-pa’is for millennia. Following favorable climate, familial ties, and food availability is necessary to a community’s survival and healthy diversity.

In early April, many species of birds who have wintered elsewhere arrive to forage in the Mountain’s forests and stream corridors. Swifts, hummingbirds, warblers, tanagers, and other visitors find seasonal homes among resident species on Oona-pa’is.

Join Rebecca Lawton, long-time guide, author, and scientist, for a bird walk on Oona-pa’is (Sonoma Mountain).

We’ll spend our morning looking and listening for new avian arrivals (like the Wilson’s warbler in the photo above). We’ll keep a list for submittal to eBird, adding our group sightings to databases used by scientists who research the mysteries of migrations. We’ll explore how valuable migrants are to local ecosystems and neighborhoods.
