LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Mendocino County resident, Kate Marianchild, naturalist and author of Secrets of the Oak Woodlands, will present a Zoom program for the Redbud Audubon Society on Thursday, March 18, starting at 7 p.m. entitled “Extraordinary Ordinary Birds of California’s Oak Woodlands.”
In a talk illustrated with audio and video recordings as well as beautiful slides, Marianchild will discuss some of the extraordinary birds that live right here in Lake County: tiny birds who build one of the ten most interesting nests in the world; woodpeckers who live in clans and share everything from food and nests to childcare and mates; and ducks who eat acorns and set off on “quad-athlons” when they are two days old.
