Ten of thousands of birds of prey (nineteen species) pass over the Golden Gate each fall. Since the 1980s, staff and volunteers of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) have been monitoring the Pacific Raptor Flyway from its most visible location, Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands. GGRO biologists, cooperating scientists, and volunteers have used GGRO data to examine species trends, to map flights, and to detect stressors on bird of prey populations. Results from GGRO banding and counting show evidence of species declines and increases, and address a network of questions about raptor conservation biology. Come join us for an evening of solid science and reckless hypothesizing about Pacific raptors, sparked by four decades of migration-tracking at the Golden Gate.
BIOAllen Fish has been the GGRO director for the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy since 1985. He received a Zoology degree from UC Davis and returned there to teach Raptor Ecology in the 2000s. The GGRO is the longest-running Community Science operation in the National Park Service and has helped to launch hundreds of young people into careers in conservation science and education. Allen has recently become obsessed with learning California’s moths and dragonflies.

Partners Gallery is very proud to celebrate twenty-five years of fine contemporary art on the Mendocino Coast. Twelve members committed to presenting high quality art first opened in Little River at Glendeven Inn, moving to Franklin Street in downtown Fort Bragg and most recently to the historic Beacon Building in Mendocino. Some of the membership has changed over the years but Partners has long supported its members as they explore new directions and media. The gallery also brings in new visions and techniques by exhibiting artists from the North Coast community and beyond. Members work cooperatively to run the gallery and make decisions by consensus. This exhibition is showing a variety of works by members, including references to silver.
There is a special Second Saturday Reception May 11 from 5 – 7pm with catered appetizers to celebrate this Silver Anniversary exhibition.
Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday 11-5pm
