Congratulations to Paula Fasi

Did you know that the Northern San Franciso Bay Flyway Festival was founded in 1996 as an event that would introduce the public to the world of birding and to set one weekend aside each year to celebrate the migration of shorebirds, waterfowl and other wildlife through San Pablo Bay? It was also created to offer access to areas of San Francisco Bay's north shore, not normally open to the public. |
