Program Badges, Bears and Ea- gles — the true-life adven- tures of a California Fish and Game warden, 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, Chico Creek Nature Cen- ter. Award-winning author and retired Fish and Game patrol lieutenant Steven T. Callan recounts his ad- ventures during his thirty- year career in Badges, Bears, and Eagles, a Book of the Year finalist. One of Steve's most im- portant cases begins with a slain Bald Eagle dropped on the doorstep of the Red- ding Fish and Game office, along with a note threaten- ing the life of a fellow war- den. Throughout his career, one of Callan's proudest achievements was lead- ing an effort to save a be- loved wildlife sanctuary from development. Passion- ate about the environment, this Chico State graduate and his wife, Kathy, are avid birders and members of National Audubon. Don't miss this presentation cov- ering this local author and his hit book. The book will be available for purchase and signing after the pre- sentation. Steve grew up in Orland. With an insatiable inter- est in wildlife, he never missed an opportunity to ride along on patrol with his father, a California Fish and Game warden. Steve went on to graduate from CSU, Chico, and at- tended graduate school at CSU, Sacramento. Hired by the California Depart- ment of Fish and Game in 1974, he began his career as a game warden near the Colorado River, promoted to patrol lieutenant in the Riverside/San Bernardino area, and spent the re- mainder of his thirty-year enforcement career in Shasta County. Field trips Point Reyes National Seashore, Sept. 11-13. Point Reyes National Seashore is well-known for its excel- lent birding. The seashore and surrounding areas of- fer many different habi- tats from grasslands, es- tuaries, and coastal scrub to forests. The projection of the Point Reyes penin- sula some 10 miles sea- ward from the mainland makes Point Reyes Na- tional Seashore a landing spot for many vagrants — birds that may have made errors in navigation and thus are unexpected in this area. Each fall these vagrants seek out resting spots along the peninsula on their way south. Some of these rari- ties have included Black- throated Blue War- bler, American Redstart, White-throated Sparrow, Palm Warbler and Pro- thonotary Warbler. The group will visit these rest- ing spots, such as the Fish Docks, the light- house rocks and cliff ar- eas, Abbott's Lagoon, To- males Bay, Drake's Beach, Bear Valley, Olema Marsh and the famous historic ranches along the way. The group will camp Fri- day and Saturday night at Olema Campground. Tent Camping only. If you have an RV or trailer, you'll need to make your own reservations. Call Jenni- fer at 345-9356 or write to jpchico@sbcglobal.net if you are interested in go- ing. Trip is limited to 12. ALTACAL Audubon events for September As it has in years past, California State Univer- sity, Chico is planning several events and activ- ities for students on La- bor Day weekend, start- ing Friday, Sept. 4. A committee of staff and students from the As- sociated Students; CSU, Chico Student Life and Leadership; Campus Al- cohol and Drug Educa- tion Center; University Housing and Food Ser- vices; the Cross-Cultural Leadership Center; the Wildcat Recreation Cen- ter and campus offices has been meeting since the summer to plan the events, which are a part of the 2015 Wildcat Welcome program for new students. "Wildcat Welcome is held to reintroduce or in- troduce Chico State stu- dents to the 'Wildcat Way' and provide them with op- portunities to meet new people and learn about what Chico State has to offer," said AS President Deanna Jarquin. "It con- tinues to grow because our spirit continues to grow with each new Wild- cat we introduce, and I could not be more proud to host many of these events." Some of the events in- clude a concert and mid- night pancake breakfast Friday night, a double fea- ture at the El Rey Theatre in downtown Chico Satur- day night, a barbecue in Bidwell Park planned for midday Sunday and fun activities as part of the Cirque de UV taking place at University Village Sun- day night. On Monday, Sept. 7, AS will host Wildcats Can, the culminating event in a weeks-long food drive to stock the Hungry Wild- cats pantry on campus. Starting at 11 a.m., stu- dents will begin building the Wildcat logo out of the cans of food received. Labor Day weekend has traditionally been a popu- lar time for floating on the Sacramento River, though a multiagency effort has increased law enforce- ment in recent years and a ban on alcoholic bever- ages will be in effect on the river for a third year. Details on all events can be found at www. csuchico.edu/wildcatwel- come or by calling the AS Government Affairs office at 898-5701.
