Kudos to the 14th Annual SF Flyway Festival Volunteers

Sincere appreciation is expressed to the Mt. Diablo Audubon Society (MDAS) volunteers who actively participated in the 14th Annual San Francisco Flyway Festival Saturday February 6, 2010 and Sunday February 7, 2010 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The volunteers greeted the many visitors of the event, shared valuable information about birds and their habitats, gave introduction about MDAS, and hosted a guessing game on the types of birds that nested in various nests. There was much excitement among the audience when they learned about MDAS' important outreach activities to different communities, especially to local schools. During the Festival, MDAS helped in sharing information on the return of millions of shorebirds and hundreds of thousands of ducks, geese, hawks, and even butterflies which migrate through Winter in the San Francisco Bay Area. MDAS members are strongly encouraged to participate in future events that highlight our chapter's presence and promotes conservation awareness and community education. MDAS is fully dedicated to habitat conservation and environmental education.

MDAS has been an active participant to the SF Flyway Festival for many years. The Festival is the only 3-day birding festival in the San francisco Bay area and Its audience has grown steadily over the last few years. The indoor activities were in Building 897 on Mare Island and many of the Festival tours left from the parking lot in front of the building. The tours allowed the guests to experience the interesting features of various areas on Mare Island that are not usually accessible to the general public. MDAS' strong participation in the Flyway Festival is an excellent outreach activity that encourages the public to get involved in the conservation of birds and their valuable habitats.

********************************** Volunteers are needed to help in enhancing the display board of exhibits that MDAS presents during outreach events. MDAS members who have special artistic talents are especially invited to help. Thank you for your valuable support.
