Join us for our annual Fall cleanup at Peck Road Water Conservation Park, Sunday November 17th from 8 am to noon.

Saturday, December 15

As things calm down following another busy and productive fall migration period, thoughts inevitably turn to the holidays and to local Christmas Bird Counts. And for most of us, there is none more local than the Pasadena-San Gabriel Valley CBC. Initiated in 1946, this is a long running count with many dedicated local birders who have been instrumental in making the Pasadena count a successful one. This year marks our 72nd anniversary and my 27th year as coordinator and compiler.

Wednesday, January 9th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm (workshop)

Of the roughly 57 species of gull (subfamily Larinae) found worldwide, more than half have been detected in North America. Identification as to species is challenging not only because of the substantial resemblance of many in their adult plumages (particularly the large “white headed” gulls), but also by the near-uniformity of their “juvenal” and “formative” plumages in their first year.

Nine teams were out and about on Birdathon weekend, April 27 to 29, attempting to find as many species as possible in order to raise funds for Pasadena Audubon's grants and programs.

Volunteers from the Pasadena Audubon Society conducted a series of approximately weekly bird surveys on the Rubio Canyon property acquired by the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy (AFC) from April 7 to June 26, 2016. The purpose of the surveys was to determine species using the property, define breeding birds vs. migrants, determine diversity of species and check for use by any Special Status species. The surveys were coordinated by Lance Benner and Kym Buzdygon (Pasadena Audubon).
