About Kern Audubon
Founded in Bakersfield in 1973, incorporated in 1979, Kern Audubon Society began a re-birth in 2006 after a four year hiatus. New and renewing members and officers are joining together to make the KAS a thriving environmental organization in Kern County. The Chapter has been re-certified by the National Audubon Society and we are planning a number of exciting, fun, and educational projects for our chapter and the community.
There are regular program meetings and field trips to both common and unique habitats in California.
Visit the pages below to learn more about our Chapter. Join us at a meeting or a field trip.

February Program
Kern Audubon Society "Midway and its Sea Birds " Bob Steele, Professional Wildlife Photographer |
|
 |
Midway Atoll (mid-way between the U.S. mainland and Japan) is important for many historical and biological reasons. Today it is part of three federal designations - Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, Papahânaumokuâkea Marine National Monument, and the Battle of Midway National Memorial. Well over a million seabirds use the three tiny islands in the atoll to breed each season, including over half of the world's population of Laysan Albatross. Join professional wildlife photographer Bob Steele as we explore the human and natural history of this unique and fascinating place. |
