Summer
Barbecue |
at
the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine |
Saturday,
July 26th - 5:30 to 10:00 p.m. |
| |
| Bring
the family and join us for this special occasion: dining
under the stars, evening walks around the marsh, and a
great program on Southern California OWLS presented by
Mary Freeman. |
| |
| During
the five years of the Los Angeles Breeding Bird Atlas
survey, data on the Northern Saw-whet Owl was sorely lacking.
Spurred by this, Mary set out over the past eight years
to study the status and distribution of this little understood
owl in the San Gabriel Mountains. Come and listen as Mary
gives us an overview of her findings relating to Saw-whets
and other owls and wildlife encountered during the project.
Mary has a great program planned for us and she's an excellent
speaker. |
| |
| Advance
reservations are essential so that we know how much food
to buy. Those with e-mail or a stamped, self-addressed
envelope will be sent their reservation confirmation and
tickets; all others can pick them up when they check in
at the barbecue on July 26th. |
| |
| Our
menu will include hamburgers with the fixings, vegetarian
beans, chips, fresh fruit, dessert, lemonade, and coffee.
A vegetarian entree will be offered for those who specifically
request it on their reservation form. |
| |
| Tickets
for the barbecue and program are $15.00
for adults, $7.00 for children under 5. Your ticket will
include your meal & beverage, evening marsh walk,
and program. (Beer, wine & soft drinks are extra.)
Activities begin at 5:30 pm, dinner will be from 6:00
to 7:00 p.m., followed by the program (as soon as it is
dark). The first marsh walk will focus on the sights and
sounds as the marsh life settles in for the evening. The
post speaker marsh walk will focus on the sounds
of the wildlife that frequent the Sanctuary at night.
