**MEETINGS**

Board Meeting, Tuesday August 24	Meetings are usually the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 PM (check the June Squawker newsletter). The meeting place is the Jamestown Community Hall (next to the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Substation), Main Street, Jamestown. All club members are invited. For information, call 532-0570.

General Meeting, Wednesday, September 15	Meeting details will be in the September issue of the Squawker. Meetings are at 7 PM and held at the Tuolumne County Library on Greenley Road in the Conference Room. The public is always welcome at these meetings and refreshments are provided afterwards. There are products and publications on a wide range of birding topics available at each meeting.

FIELD TRIPS
All CSAS trips are open to the public, and beginning birders, including children, are welcome on day trips.
Bring drinking water and a lunch or snacks. Hiking boots or sturdy walking shoes, a sun hat and sunscreen, and
insect repellant are advisable for all trips. Dressing in layers is also advisable for longer trips, or iffy weather.
Binoculars are a must, bird books are advised, and spotting 'scopes are optional and much appreciated.
NOTE: Heavy rain cancels field trips. If in doubt, call the leader by one hour before the meeting time.



July Eagle Meadows	JULY'S FIELD TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELED. Field trip leaders familiar with the area were not available; snow melt above Niagara Creek have caused the steams to run high with crossing streams only possible with high-clearance vehicles; and the roads to Eagle Meadow are in very bad condition.


Saturday, August 21	Join us on an all-day field trip to Sonora Pass. Because of the heavy snow pack and late spring, the wild flowers should be good at the pass. We are almost guaranteed to see Clark's Nutcrackers along with other birds who spend the summer at these higher altitudes. Afternoon thundershowers are always a possibility, and don't forget insect repellant. We will leave from the east end of the Twain Harte Market parking lot (near CSERC) at 7:00 AM sharp. Carpooling is recommended. For further information, call John Turner at 852-2348 or email *josanbird@gmail.com*.
