LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Redbud Audubon Society is pleased to host Tim Bray on Thursday, Oct. 20, for its monthly Zoom presentation, starting at 7 p.m.

Bray is president of the Mendocino Coast Audubon Society and a retired hydrogeologist with extensive knowledge of his topic.

This presentation begins with a review of the mechanics and biology of the nearshore and offshore ecosystems, before looking at some of the birds that rely on different parts of the marine food webs and the remarkable adaptations they display.

Bray co-hosts a monthly radio program, “The Ecology Hour,” on Mendocino County’s KZYX public radio station with Dr. Robert Spies, a marine biologist.
