About this event
Explore the varied habitats of Point Reyes National Seashore at the peak of the bird breeding season. Identification of many species by sight and sounds will be a major focus.
Around Bear Valley we will look for resident and neotropical breeding species, including Pacific-slope and several other flycatchers, vireos, sparrows and warblers. Grebes, loons and other waterbirds will be our focus at Drakes Beach. Osprey, Red-shouldered Hawk and Northern Harrier are raptors that frequent these areas. The class may visit other coastal locations as well to view seabirds.
The class will focus on identification and bird behavior in a series of short walks.
