SUMMARY:San Joaquin Valley Birding Tour
DESCRIPTION:Fri.-Sun. Dec. 26-28\, 2014 \nThe great complex of San Joaquin wildlife refuges near Los Banos\, including Merced\, West Bear Creek\, Kesterson and San Luis\, comprise over 50\,000 acres of wetlands\, teeming with migratory birds. They are the winter quarters for tens of thousands of raptors\, ducks\, egrets and shorebirds. Sandhill Cranes\, Snow and Ross’ geese\, Ferruginous hawks\, Cinnamon and Green-wing Teal\, Great Horned Owls\, Boat-tail Grackles\, Water Pipits and Bald eagles are only a few of the many species. Mammals also make their homes here\, such as Coyotes\, cottontails\, river otter and Tule Elk. Typically we see 80-90 bird species at these refuges\, some in the thousands. The tour begins at noon Friday at the Merced Refuge\, continues Saturday at Los Banos and Sunday morning we’ll search for the Tule Elk at San Luis. En route we’ll stop at refuge HQ near Los Banos\, not far from our hotel. This classic valley wildlife tour will provide wonderful photographic and birding opportunities. Lodging\, directions and birding information provided at registration. Cost does not include transportation\, lodging or meals.
