Galena Creek Speaker Series: Finches of the Sierra Nevada

Join LAS volunteer, Ben Sonnenberg, at the Galena Creek Visitor Center to learn about the species of finch that inhabit the Sierra Nevada, including Pine and Evening grosbeaks, Red crossbills, and Cassin’s finches, to name but a few! We will be discussing not only their identification via sight and sound but their diverse and remarkable ecology. These tough birds are known for their wanderings, unique vocalizations, and ability to not only survive but often reproduce in cold winter temperatures.

No registration required. The talk will begin at 10:00 am on Saturday 9/17.
