Presentation with Alan Beymer
A Special Morning at Calaveras Big Trees
Join Us for a Presentation with Alan Beymer
The Calaveras Big Trees Association is pleased to welcome Alan Beymer for a morning dedicated to the birds that live in our park.
The giant sequoias get much of our attention. But look up, and listen, the birds of Calaveras Big Trees have a compelling story to tell. In his presentation, The Birds of Calaveras Big Trees, Beymer draws on a lifetime of careful observation to bring these species into focus, offering a closer look at who’s here, when they arrive, and what their presence tells us about the health and rhythm of this forest.
From the striking black-and-white flash of the White-headed Woodpecker prying the bark of a sugar pine, to the flame of a Western Tanager in the summer canopy, to the quiet industry of the Brown Creeper spiraling up an ancient trunk, these birds are everywhere, if you know where to look.
For all of us, his talk is an invitation to listen a little more closely the next time we step outside.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Alan speak, ask questions, and connect with others who share a love for the wild world around us.
