Birds of the California Delta with Aaron Haiman 4-9-26 at 7:00 p.m. 

Greetings AlI NSAS Members, Family & Friends:

Please Come Join us Thursday, April 9th for our April Speaker Series
Date: Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Location: Benicia Public Library

Our Speaker Series is in-person and via zoom for those viewing from afar, or unable to travel in the evening (See Zoom connection details below.)

About the Program: Based on the new book, Birds of the California Delta, this talk will focus on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as a place of connections and complexities. This is a place where rivers meet one another, where freshwater meets salt water, where fish link inland forests with the open ocean, where birds from the north come for the winter, and where birds from the south come to breed. The Delta is also a place of complexity. How water interacts with land and forms soil is a complex process. How humans use water, and land contains a nest of complex pressures. All these connections and complexities play out on a daily basis throughout the Delta.
