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.

Field Trips

 

SUMMER FIELD TRIP JULY 25TH

Can you tell which bird is the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo or the Summer Tanager or the Vermillion Flycatcher?

Here's your chance to see all three at the Kern River Preserve this Summer.

One of Kern County's best birders, Bob Barnes, will lead a field trip to the Kern River Preserve on Sat. July 25 to see the birds pictured above plus the willow flycatcher!

We will meet at the Albertson's parking lot on Mt. Vernon & Hiway 178, 6:30am . Bring water & snacks, binocs, etc. We will go to breakfast after birding at the Sierra Vista cafe in Weldon.

 

 


An Excellent New Book!

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!)
