About Kern Audubon
Founded in Bakersfield in 1973, incorporated in 1979, Kern Audubon Society began a re-birth in 2006. In one year we have achieved a great deal - see a list of accomplishments in the April 2007 Audubon's Warbler. New and re-newing members and officers are joining together to make the KAS a thriving environmental organization again.
The Chapter has been re-certified by the National Audubon Society and we are planning a number of exciting, fun, and educational projects
for 2008.
We plan to maintain an informative web site, post our newsletter, and keep our members and the people
of Kern County informed about conservation matters, large and small.
We have regular program meetings and field trips to both common and unique habitats in California.
Visit the pages below to learn more about our Chapter. Join us at a meeting or a field trip.

A newly-published book will be available at the next meeting of Kern Audubon called Backyard Birds of California : How to Identify and Attract the Top 25 Birds. The book includes a profiled bird scale for easier identification, a range and distribution map for each bird, color photographs and specific descriptions, including identification marks, behavior, habitat and nesting style. There are also articles by author Bill Fenimore on creating backyard bird sanctuaries, tips on feeders and water features, vegetation, etc. The 100 page book, available for $10, is especially good for beginning birders and will make wonderful gifts! Support the chapter fundraiser...buy a book! (p.s. the book's pictures are much much better than my picture of the pictures!) |
