With David Wimpfheimer

This migration immersion class will take place on the Point Reyes headlands giving participants a unique opportunity to study and appreciate this special area and its avian inhabitants. On Saturday, a series of short walks may take us to the Lighthouse, Chimney Rock, and Drakes Beach. Depending on weather patterns, many migrant warblers, sparrows, and other passerines concentrate in the surrounding cypress groves and willow thickets. Ranch ponds and marsh habitat hold shorebirds while scoter, loons, and other water birds rest on Drakes Bay… there is almost always a surprise.

We will spend the night in this dramatic setting and watch a digital presentation on the birds of Point Reyes. Sunday morning may find us visiting some of the same locations. We may also take a walk at Abbotts Lagoon. The variety of sandpipers, ducks, terns, and other water birds can be dramatic. Many raptors take advantage of this rich area to feed.

Rustic accommodations at the charming and historic Lifeboat Station are included for all participants.

Expect to take several hikes throughout the weekend.
