Migration and Bird Conservation

Welcome to My Bird Conservation Site!

Greetings from my little corner of cyberspace! My name is Chris Otahal and I have studied birds using riparian (creek-side) habitat along the lower stretch of Coyote Creek where it enters the southern end of San Francisco Bay, California, United States. These studies were initiated by the Coyote Creek Riparian Station and are continued by the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory. I have since moved on to work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (implementing the Endangered Species Act) but thought some of you may be interested in this AVIAN RESEARCH. If you feel inspired and would like to contribute towards protecting bird habitat, please check out the FREE DONATION PAGE where you can help save wildlife habitat with a simple click or two of your mouse. I also offer e-card and e-mail services on my FREE MAIL PAGE. From June 2002 through August 2005 all proceeds went to Friends of Calakmul to preserve land in Mexico. However, as of September 2005, this project has expanded its area of focus to include rainforests around the world. Now all proceeds go to The Nature Conservancy's Adopt-an-Acre Program to facilitate this mission. Click here to check on our progress!

NEW!!! - Here is a very cool program where you can help scientists find new and improved methods of modeling the climate - and projecting future changes associated with global warming. Follow the link for more information. See a new news article from the BBC discussing project results here or a report from the New Scientist here. If you sign up, please consider joining our Bird Conservation team. There is a lot of very interesting information on this site as well, so even if you don't want to participate you may want to take a look around.

Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon!
