Save the Condors Stewardship Event

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that the Condor Event will be a go this Saturday if it is sprinkling or cloudy-or even if there is a threat of rain. However, if it is pouring, or worse, it will be rescheduled. Thanks!-Dianne

American Coots in Valencia

I think it's a terrible tragedy that the residents of Bridgeport are even thinking about destroying these lovely American birds. They are complaining that they leave droppings on the sidewalks and eat their grass around the lake. How selfish can these people be? Where are they supposed to leave their droppings? What are they supposed to eat? California has lost 95 percent of it's natural bodies of water. Little man-made lakes like the one at Bridgeport are the only little bits of habitat left for these birds...and they are migratory!!! They are only here for 2 months or so! Give the environment a break! Or, how about cementing your lake in? That would solve your problem now wouldn't it?
