Fall is a magical time of year
for birding along the Monterey Bay. Over 400 species of shorebirds, ducks,
geese, seabirds and songbirds gather along this beautiful coast to overwinter
among our wetlands, sloughs, shores and woodlands. With the Monterey
Peninsula to the south and Santa Cruz to the north, the Pajaro Valley is at
the heart of one of the premier destinations along the
Pacific Coast, providing great diversity and abundance to the visiting
birder.
Experienced guides will lead participants to their favorite haunts on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with special outings, workshops and presentations.
Come witness this fall gathering of locals
and visitors such as:
Snowy Plover,
Golden Eagle,
Peregrine Falcon,
California Condor,
Wrentit,
California Thrasher.
This year's schedule includes special outings to the Big Sur Condor
Project, and a special presentation on the Snowy Plover, as well as beginner's
field trips.
