Saturday, May 6, 10am - noon Leader: Bob Toleno

We have a very special event planned. Meet our own Ohlone member, artist Rita Sklar at the Interpretative Center and view her artwork (details below). After viewing Rita's art, we'll walk about one mile to the viewing area for the tern colony. Least Terns and Black Skimmers will be nesting on the island, as well as hundreds of Forster's Terns, and some Caspian Terns. We also might see some Elegant Terns, which have started nesting in the SF Bay for the past couple years. If we're very lucky, we might catch sight of a migrating Black Tern or two.

Directions: From Highway 92, take the Clawiter Road exit. Westbound, continue onto Breakwater at the light. Eastbound, follow Clawiter north over the freeway and turn left onto Breakwater at the light. Turn left past the gas station to stay on Breakwater, which is the frontage road, one mile to the Interpretive Center.

Rita Sklar’s work can be viewed at http://www.ritasklar.com. The website includes her new work, along with past works. She is offering a 40% discount to Ohlone Audubon members!. Her show at the Hayward Shoreline Interpretative Center runs March thru August. The Center is now open Fridays and Saturdays.
