Napa-Solano Audubon Society Bird Walk

How do birders tell all of the different species apart? Hear tips for finding and identifying typical Northern California birds, including how to use clues such as habitat type, silhouette, and behavior. Land Trust of Napa County Hike Leader Chris Benz will guide us through Stanly Ranch Wetlands, as we explore the bird life in this protected landscape. Stanly Ranch Wetlands spans 261 acres that have been threatened with development numerous times over the last 20 years. These lands are now permanently protected through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.


Walks are appropriate for all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult). Please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots and bring water and binoculars if you have them.
