MARBLED MURRELET FIELD TRIP 1 |

8:30 AM |
$10.00 |

|
|
Discover the endangered and mysterious Marbled Murrelet, set in dramatic redwood old-growth forest with a local murrelet surveyor. This trip to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park near Orick is for early birds! The dawn chorus, Varied Thrush, and Pileated Woodpecker, accompanies pre-dawn flights of the murrelets. (Carpool, 90 miles round trip). Flat terrain, but wet. Restrooms available, will not stop for food. These birds are usually seen only in flight and therefore are difficult to get in a spotting scope. Plenty of other redwood forest birds can be enjoyed. [Repeats on Sunday as Event #66.]

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 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 Sunday as event #68; on Monday as event #98, and on Tuesday as event #103]

Join the Big Day team as they attempt to exceed the 100 species mark! Travel up and down the coast visiting our area’s best spots.

Prize for the most species seen between the Saturday and Sunday Big Day trips will be presented during the Sunday Evening Social (reference event #97). This is a fast-paced field trip, making several quick stops to record as many species of birds as possible. Many times, you will not wander far from the bus which is provided for this trip. Trip includes a box lunch (vegetarian choice available). Restrooms available at some stops. This trip may be too fast-paced to bother with a spotting scope. [Repeats on Sunday as Event #73.]

Head to Horse Mountain (about 30 minutes inland) to search for montane species such as Townsend’s Solitaire along the higher elevations (4500 feet) reached on Forest Service Route 1 (Titlow Hill). Bring a lunch and expect beautiful scenery! There may even be some snow on the ground, but that never discourages the Mountain Chickadees. The land here is managed by the Six Rivers National Forest (Trinity District). Details of wildlife and other "multiple uses" of the USFS can be seen at the bird fair. Additional materials may be of interest Friday night before the Saturday morning trip. Roads are tight up in this hill-timber country and unexpected vehicles can cause problems. For this reason we ask that you consider car-pooling to the greatest extent possible. Prepare for variable terrain, possibly snow or wet ground. Restrooms are not available. You may wish to pack a lunch. There will be opportunities to use a spotting scope.

Local conditions provide great spring season rafting. Flows are usually up and sunny spring days are not unheard of.

Floating along the river in a raft is quiet and tranquil, allowing viewers to spot birds comfortably and quietly, and most wildlife, especially birds, are relatively unperturbed by rafts and can often be approach to within just a few feet. Each raft holds 3 to 6 participants and is guided by one of the professional river guides of Redwoods and Rivers Rafting Company. The Lower Mad River is a great starting point, with rapids ranging from Class I to Class III (beginner’s level).

Meet the instructor at the Community Center then carpool to the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka for live animal models to work with. You may wish to pack a lunch, or grab something from the zoo cafe. Restrooms are available at the Community Center and the zoo.

Arcatans “flush with pride” due to their world-renowned wastewater treatment system. This facility converted a log pond and city dump into a multifunctional resource for fishing, wildlife, outdoor activities, and wastewater treatment. This trip will introduce you to the world renowned waste-water treatment plant which has been the model for several treatment plants across the country. This is not a birding trip, although birds may be observed as the facilities are nestled into the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary. Age limit: 4th grade minimum. Terrain is flat, will not stop for food, restrooms available at the Arcata marsh Interpretive Center nearby.
This is a free community activity. If you plan to sign up for free community activities ONLY, please call 707-826-7050 or 1-800-908-WING to reserve your spot.
