FIELD TRIP: Shorebirds for Beginners
DATE: Saturday, October 1, 2022
TIME: 8:30am - 11:00am
LEADER: Robbie Revel
CO-LEADER: Karen Watts
Trip is limited to 12 participants - Signups will be taken for 24 hours. 12 participants will be randomly selected. The remainder will be put on standby status in case of cancellations.
DESCRIPTION:
Willets, Whimbrels and Curlews, Oh My!! Sandpipers and shorebirds can be confusing. So Identification of Shorebirds will be our goal as we walk along Morro Strand and explore the beach and seasonal pools that often have an amazing variety of species. We hope to see large sandpipers, little peeps, plovers, gulls, terns, and other birds that use our beaches as foraging environments. Learn to identify our most common winter visitors. Walk will be on a flat beach with some areas of deep sand. Expect to walk 1 – 2 miles at a slow pace.
Bring a hat, water, snacks, sunscreen, binoculars and field guides (if you have them) and dress in layers to accommodate wind and changing weather. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Restrooms are available/not available. Rain cancels.
Experience Level: Beginners and Intermediates
