What a time to enjoy birds in a variety of habitats as nesting birds return and wintering birds linger! Learn to ID by sight and sound.
About this event
April is a wonderful time to enjoy a wide variety of birds at Point Reyes. Almost all of the migratory nesting birds have returned to the area while some of the wintering birds still linger. This class will visit several locations, exploring Bear Valley, the Giacomini wetlands, and some coastal habitats to observe them.
Identification of raptors, flycatchers, warblers, woodpeckers, shorebirds and other waterbirds by sight and sounds will be a major focus.
