These outings
will be geared toward people who aren’t entirely comfortable joining field trips
as well as those who have birded a bit but would like to be better birders. A brief parking lot talk will focus on choice
and use of binoculars and a brief overview of birding etiquette and ethics. A $5 donation is requested to cover the
costs of hand-out materials. (If you’re
a repeat participant and already have the materials no donation is
requested.) You do not need to be a
member of Audubon to participate.
The field trips
will focus on finding and identifying common birds in a variety of habitats and
will be led by two or more experienced Sacramento Audubon trip leaders. Each trip is limited to 10 participants. Register via email to Cathie at empid@earthlink.net, (put “Beginning
Birder” in the subject line), and give your name, phone number, email address
and the field trip date of your choice, or by calling Cathie at (916) 457-6882
and leaving your name and phone number.
Following registration you will receive additional information regarding
the field trip.
