SUMMARY:Mendocino Seacoast Weekend Tour
DESCRIPTION:Mendocino County is renowned for its great northern seacoast\, rural charm and deep wild forests. Rugged headlands are pounded by enormous breakers; unspoiled rivers like the Navarro and Albion meet the sea to create expansive beaches. The town of Mendocino itself appears to be a transplanted New England village. State parks protect the coast\, including McKerricher\, Van Damme and Russian Gulch\, and are home to many forms of wildlife\, birds and marine mammals. Loons\, Black oystercatchers and turnstones\, together with many species of ducks and songbirds\, gulls and cormorants\, patrol the oceans and forests. Among the headlands and crashing surf we’ll search for Surfbirds\, mergansers and the elusive Harlequin\, a spectacular sea duck. Inland\, as we search the woodlands for warblers\, thrushes and kinglets\, we will also note colorful fungi that bring the forest floor to life. Mendocino is part of the heritage of old-time California\, a paradise for nature photographers. We will be staying at the Beach House Inn in Ft. Bragg\, but nearby there are also many old-fashioned B&Bs. Lodging and meals are not included in the tour cost. Spectacular marine and woodland photography.

SUMMARY:Baylands Preserve Tour\, Palo Alto
DESCRIPTION:Home of the Holy Grail of rails (the Black rail)\, this section of Palo Alto marsh and shoreline has some of the greatest concentrations of wildfowl\, shorebirds\, raptors and waders in the Bay Area. Herons and egrets\, stilts\, Avocets\, rails and shorebirds\, terns\, kites and harriers\, Cinnamon and Green-winged teal\, among many others\, are fairly common from mid-fall to early spring. Occasionally Peregrine falcons grace the skies\, and Burrowing owls make an appearance. Sighting forty species is common on a morning walk. We maintain a leisurely pace along the marsh trails (perhaps a mile or so) and stop at the Visitor’s Center as we enter the marsh. Hard to beat this spot for a “who’s who” of Bay Area waterbirds\, all in lovely Palo Alto. Great photographic opportunities for waterbirds.

SUMMARY:Bodega Bay & Sonoma Coast Tour 
DESCRIPTION:Bodega Bay\, nestled on the Sonoma coast west of Sebastopol\, is one of our most exciting local birding locations\, designated an IBA (Important Bird Area) by the American Bird Conservancy. The towering headlands\, coves and marshes surrounding the bay protect great numbers and varieties of birds\, such as Peregrine falcons\, Brant geese\, plovers\, loons\, numerous shorebirds\, songbirds and many species of ducks. Numerous rarities have also turned up here\, such as the Emperor Goose and Red-throated Grebe. We will circle the bay\, visiting locations such as Bodega Head\, Doran Beach\, Owl Canyon and Spud Pt. Marina. Minimal walking; bring lunch (or purchase one locally) and drinks. Good photographic opportunities.

SUMMARY:Klamath Refuge Fall Weekend Tour
DESCRIPTION:For wilderness and wildlife this one can’t be beat! In a nutshell\, hundreds of thousands of migrating shorebirds\, wildfowl and raptors pass through the Klamath Basin on the California-Oregon border every fall. The refuge\, a series of lakes\, forests and marshes totaling thousands of acres\, is surrounded by wild and rugged country. To top it off\, the 12\,000- foot snow-capped peak of Mt. Shasta rises above the horizon to the south! All in all\, it is one of the greatest spectacles of migrating birds on the West Coast. They include Sandhill cranes\, Snow and White-fronted geese\, shorebirds\, Tundra swans\, Gray Jays\, ducks of every description\, Bald Eagles\, several species of owls and many kinds of songbirds. Each day will provide new refuges and opportunities to view wildlife. Typically we observe between 30-40 species per day\, 75-85 total. Walking is minimal\, on level terrain. A resort in nearby Klamath Falls\, Oregon\, will provide our accommodations. Tour begins Thurs. afternoon after check-in\, and continues through noon Sunday. From the Bay Area drive time is about 6-7 hours\, and car-pooling is recommended. Amtrak service to Klamath Falls and van transportation on site is available. Lodging and travel information provided at time of registration. Tour cost does not include transportation\, lodging or meals. Spectacular wildfowl\, wilderness and landscape photography.
