The November Board Meeting was held on November 12, with 32 attendees, including management and 9 board members. The meeting was scheduled early in the month to accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday. By Charles Darling*, biologist, Court 3 Our overwintering feathered friends of Village Green
Village Green has long been a haven for migratory birds, attracting warblers, raptors, and other species, much to the delight of birdwatchers. Here’s what to look for this winter season. GREAT HORNED OWLS As nights grow longer, Great Horned Owls become more active. These owls reuse nests from ravens or hawks. After a windstorm destroyed last year’s nest, this season’s may be in a nearby eucalyptus tree. Males perform dramatic wingbeats, vocalize, and defend their territory while courting females. By spring, their young develop hunting skills, preying on other animals’ springtime offspring. MIGRATORY SONGBIRDS AND PREDATORS Orange-crowned Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and Cedar Waxwings—known for their berry-filled antics and high-pitched calls—are arriving en masse. Their predators follow:
ICONIC RED-CROWNED PARROTS Our Red-crowned Parrots, some as old as 70, form strong social bonds. During warmer months, family units separate to raise young outside VG, but winter reunites the flocks. These bonds, forming here among young parrots, mirror our own children’s friendships. And just look how social they are! One morning early this month the Green was visited by hundreds and hundreds of birds, cackling wildly and flying in pairs, feeding in the trees for half a day before they flew off. *name has been changed at the request of the author. Compiled by Patrick Comiskey The October Board meeting was attended by thirty-nine community members and eight Board members. Manager Sherri Giles and Director Chris Scornaienchi were absent.
Topics included the 2025 operating budget, management office software, electrical project next steps, construction project costs for "between-the-walls" projects, dealing with noise, and bright new security lights. Compiled by Patrick Comiskey The August Board meeting welcomed 34 Zoom attendees with a full slate of Directors and management. It was a brief public meeting; by some miracle, the word “chalk” was not uttered once the entire evening.

Thirty-two people attended a jam-packed Board Meeting held June 25, 2024, including eight Directors, Management representatives, and invited guests. Board president Laura Civiello opened the meeting with an announcement that the California State Senate Judiciary Committee is reviewing AB 2159, a measure that would allow HOAs to use electronic voting systems to elect board members and approve governing documents. An electronic process would give the association a more efficient tool to gather votes than the current paper ballots, and hopefully make it easier to get quorum prior to the annual meetings. You can support electronic voting by voicing your support here: www.tinyurl.com/hoa-voting. Compiled by Sherri Giles; edited by P.J.C.

Story and photos by Matthew Archer This morning I woke up early and started my day as usual. In the kitchen I prepared coffee, carried it upstairs and sat at my desk to check email. Then, I stepped out my front door in Court 10 and joined the concrete footpath leading to West Green. It was my first walk in several weeks, and as I strode into golden sunlight filtering through the olive trees, I felt bathed in a familiar tranquility. With each return to these walking paths, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. Yet here they are when I come back to them.  Compiled by Patrick Comiskey
