The bird-walking group Bay Farm Nature Connection won’t be staging its monthly birdwalks in April and May.

The next walk should take place in June.

BFNC member Ralf Stinson, who took the pelican photo shown above, needs to tend to other activities.

He, along with fellow BFNC partners  Tim Molter and Harv Wilson, will be traveling to Arizona to bird the area.

Meanwhile, members of the group will be keeping an eye on the local egrets, now building their nests on the lagoon near Bay Farm Christian Fellowship Church.
 
Happy birding.

Rose Aguilar, the author of “Red Highways: A Liberal’s Journey into the Heartland,” will be speaking at the Alameda Public Library at 7:15 p.m. next Saturday, April 10.

Aguilar, who also hosts KAWL radio’s “Your Call” program, is entitling her discussion, ”Behind the Tea Party Movement – Where the Red Highway Took Me and Where It Is Going.”

The event is hosted by Alameda Public Affairs Forum.

Copies of “Red Highways” will be available at the forum for sale and signing. 

To begin the evening, the group is staging a reception with snacks, juice and coffee at 6 p.m., in the library coffee shop. Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite finger food, dessert or juice to share. 

The discussion with Aguilar will go from 7:15 to 9:15 p.m.
