Saturday Weekly Bird Walks with Andrew Ford

Our Saturday Bird Walks with Andrew Ford have been a great success and will continue throughout the year beginning on Saturday, September 7, 2024! These Saturday field trips may be organized on short notice, with the destination usually close enough that the trip only lasts half a day. Weekly Walks will typically travel to local Parks or Open Spaces in Napa or Solano Counties. Since birding hotspots vary throughout the season due to the weather and unpredictable migration patterns, the scheduled locations may change the week of the trip. Be sure to sign up for Field Trip email Announcements to have all of the up-to-date locations and specifics. Go to our Email Sign-up page. For everyone’s safety, we encourage all participants, who are eligible, to be vaccinated for Covid 19 and that all participants sign our Release of Liability Form.
