Spring is a great time for many birds at Point Reyes. Coastal estuaries such as Limantour Estero or Bolinas Lagoon are extremely rich feeding areas for thousands of ducks, shorebirds, grebes and other waterbirds.
Many hawks, falcons and other raptors occur in large numbers due to these rich feeding conditions. Warblers, thrushes, kinglets and other landbirds are also found here in huge numbers.
This class will cover the basics of field identification in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. While observing birds in a variety of habitats, this program will offer insights into the use of binoculars, scopes, apps and field guides.
David will share techniques that will enhance your birding skills. Come discover why birding is one of the most popular pastimes in the country, and why Point Reyes is one of the best locations to enjoy it!
