Feathers of the Forests - Livestream

Tune into the soundscape of Bay Area forests and discover the birds that bring coastal redwoods and oak woodlands to life.

These landscapes are alive with birds, even when they’re out of sight. From towering redwood forests to rolling oak woodlands, native and resident birds help shape healthy ecosystems, and their songs offer clues about who’s in the forest and what’s happening around them. We’ll help you tune in to the flow of the forests around you and reveal the hidden world that shapes some of our most distinctive landscapes.

Join POST and Carolyn Knight, Education & Outreach Manager at Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance, for a live online event exploring the fascinating roles birds play in our local forests. You’ll discover how to listen beyond what you can see, meet some of the Bay Area’s year-round feathered residents, and learn why these birds are essential to thriving forest ecosystems.

Here’s what we’ll be chirping about:

• Discover the many ways birds help forests thrive, from controlling insects and dispersing seeds to supporting healthy ecosystems year-round.
• Explore the incredible diversity of birds that call Bay Area redwood forests and oak woodlands home, and learn simple tips for spotting and identifying them.
• Learn how bird songs and calls reveal who’s in the forest and what they’re up to because birding is just as much about listening as it is looking.
• Peck away at your bird questions during a live Q&A with Carolyn.

You’ll come away with:

• A new appreciation for the feathered neighbors that help keep Bay Area forests healthy.
• A better understanding of how birds support local ecosystems.
• Insight into how organizations like POST and Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance are working to conserve Bay Area forests and the birds that depend on them.
