YouTube livestream:
Link mentioned during the meeting:
- An article on the renaming of the Thick-billed Longspur
- An article on a recent study showing a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and grassland bird declines
- A Los Padres Forest Watch page on how to comment on the Reyes Ridge logging proposal: The extended deadline for submitting a public comment is tomorrow (8/14).
- Andrea asked about Lanayah, my son’s post-rock/doomgaze band whose shirt I was wearing. You can view the video for their song “Three Javelins”; it isn’t the most representative of their music, but it DOES have birds. :-) If you’d like to hear more Lanayah their latest album is on their Bandcamp page.
The slides from the meeting are viewable here.
