8:30 AM |
$5.00 |

|
|
This pre-breakfast trip is planned to catch the dawn chorus in full swing at the Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary. Birds are on the move at this time, so there will be plenty of birding action. The willows will have songbirds singing and the reed beds will have chattering Marsh Wrens and possibly rails. The trip leader will explain all vocalizations from the straight forward Mallard quack, and California Quail "Chi-CA-go" call, to the more intricate sparrow calls and chips. This trips is for everyone and will provide an introduction to the skill of birding by ear. Return to the Community Center for some "shade grown"coffee and local pastries to prepare for your next day trip. Terrain is mostly flat on maintained trails but it may be muddy if there has been rain. Will not stop for food. Opportunity to use a spotting scope.
[Repeats with different leader on Friday as event #18; on Saturday as event #42; on Sunday as event #86; on Monday as event #125, and on Tuesday as event #136]

|

This trip is designed to allow guests to fly into San Francisco International Airport and be picked up at an Airport Hotel Thursday morning. Ken Burton, a veteran California birder, will be the guide and transport you up Highway 101 to Arcata. Key birding stops along the way will be checked. This will be a great introduction for all who have not been to the Golden State before. The five or six-hour drive will have several stops, including lunch and dinner at pre-selected restaurants, and the birding will cover San Francisco Bay, marshlands, oak woodlands, and conifer forests. We will allow an additional six hours for birding and arrive at a hotel in Arcata Thursday night. If you are available for an extended stay, you could join the NE California trip (reference event #127) and the Central Valley Refuges to S.F. airport (reference event #140) that will return down the Central Valley from Redding and on to San Francisco by Wednesday. Overall a fantastic week, focusing on all the varied habitats and birds of Northern California. Either way we hope you consider this alternative method of getting to and from our festival. If you are an international guest planning to stay for a week or so, traveling courtesy of our guides in their vehicles is absolutely the best “birds for your dollar, pound, or euro."

|

Help scout potential locations for the Friday evening bus tour (reference event #36). Carpool through the Arcata Bottoms looking for Barn Owl and Short-eared Owl, then visit various locations using tapes or voice calling to elicit responses from the nighttime forest owls. Keith is an experienced "owler" and can demonstrate various calling techniques. Considerable effort is spent by wildlife biologists and technicians throughout Humboldt, Trinity and Del Norte Counties surveying at night for Spotted Owls. Interesting work, but for many wildlife students it is the first real wildlife experience they will get. The limit of 18 people will keep the car-pool managable for night driving. This trip has no charge and will be cancelled by rain. Requires good luck, a flashlight and warm clothes. Expect variable terrain and possibly wet ground. Warm drinks too, as it can be a long slow night if the owls don't cooperate. Opportunity to use spotting scope until dark.

This field trip meets at the Woodley Island Marina Dock A - look for a map in your registration materials if you sign up for this trip. Focused on Indian Island, this true “Ecotour” by kayak presents the wildlife and incredible rookery of Humboldt Bay as well as the Native American history of the Wiyot tribe original inhabitants. Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Great Blue Heron and Black-crowned Night-Heron fill the trees and loons, grebes, and waterfowl are on the bay. Plus, thousands of shorebirds line the waters edge. A museum interpretive tour of the Native American collection at the Clark Museum will provide wonderful insight into this way of life. “Living on the Edge” is our festival theme this year. The wildlife and the Wiyot people thrived for centuries around Humboldt Bay.
Wearing quick-dry materials is suggested for kayaking. No experience is necessary and Kayaks will be provided. This trip will not stop for food. Restrooms are available at the marina.
