June 5-7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you visit the Sierras and see these unspoiled forests, sparkling rivers, lakes and magnificent peaks, you understand John Muir\u2019s inspiration. Our headquarters for this summer weekend will be the Sierra Valley, 25 miles north of Lake Tahoe. It is a vast and wild landscape of forests, lakes, mountains and small villages. The area provides homes for a extraordinary variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, wildflowers and giant conifer cathedrals. We will visit Lake Davis, the Iron Bridge marshes, the Feather River, Yuba Pass, Plumas-Eureka State Park and several other locations. Common summer birds include sapsuckers, warblers, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Bald Eagles, Osprey, White Pelicans, Mt. Bluebirds, White-faced Ibis, Sandhill Cranes, Black\u2013billed Magpies, Nighthawks, ducks and hummingbirds. Common songbirds include flycatchers, finches, swallows, nuthatches and thrushes. We typically see 80-100 species over the weekend. The trip begins at noon Friday in Sierraville and ends Sunday at noon. Spectacular nature photography opportunities. Tour cost does not include accommodations, meals or transportation. Lodging, directions and birding information will be provided at registration.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fri.-Sun.
