Spring Birding in the Laguna-Series of Bird Watching Classes and Walks with Lisa Hug

Meet at Heron Hall, Laguna Environmental Center, 900 Sanford Road, Santa Rosa, CA 95401
$40 per walk, or $35 per walk if you sign up for all three (total $105)
Pre-registration required (visit website).

In this birding series, we will celebrate Spring by exploring a different non-publicly accessible corner of the Laguna each month. In March we will enjoy the wide variety of waterfowl that utilizes the deep the channels of the Laguna that the winter rains have brought.

During the months of April and May the resident songbirds will awaken and the colorful migrants will arrive from Central America with their vibrant songs. There will be a short PowerPoint orientation the first session. Bring binoculars, (spotting scope optional), a field guide, comfortable walking shoes, layered clothing, water and a packed lunch or snacks.

We will end each session with a group lunch and make a list of the species which we encountered. Pre-registration required (visit website).
