Field trip dates: December Dec 6 &7 (8am- 3pm)

Lecture: Dec 2 (7-9 pm for registered participants)

Cost: Members $80, General $95

Breathtaking views of flocks of tens of thousands of Snow Geese, so dense that they literally “whiten the sky,” bring visions of a California only our ancestors experienced. The class will spend two days in the field at various refuges and reserves witnessing this incredible gathering of birds seeking relief from the freezing temperatures of their Arctic nesting grounds. An evening lecture and slide show will prepare participants to fully appreciate the spectacle they are about to witness.
