Birding

Birding Napa County Murray Berner has been birding Napa County for many years. His primary interest is in the distribution and habitat needs of nesting birds, and he is the co-author of the “Breeding Birds of Napa County.” The movement of migratory birds holds a special fascination and will be the focus of four field trips during the peak of fall migration.

In late September many of the birds that winter in Napa are arriving from their northern breeding grounds, and birds that summer here continue to depart for the tropics. The county is blessed with a variety of easily accessible terrestrial and aquatic habitats where songbirds, waterfowl, raptors and shorebirds congregate during migration. In order to see a diversity of species, we will visit distinctly different habitats during each field trip: Lake Hennessey, Napa River Ecological Reserve, the American Canyon Wetlands - or wherever the dynamics of the season dictate. The field trips will involve a walk of 0.5-2.0 miles round trip. Terrain is level over gravel roads or well-worn footpaths. Bring binoculars and your favorite field guide. Students should meet at the Upper Valley Campus and be prepared to drive to the birding destinations. Pre-Registration is required. #62334 Sep 20-Oct 11 $85 Upper Valley Campus, Lobby Tue, 8:00am-12:00pm, Berner
