FIELD TRIPS

​Beginners are welcome on all field trips. Light drizzle does not necessarily cancel trips, but heavier rain will. If in doubt, please call the trip leader. For all trips, please wear appropriate clothing (layers are suggested), comfortable shoes, and bring snacks, water, hats, sunscreen, binoculars and field guides

A few reminders about birding etiquette:  Stay behind the leader, move quietly, ask questions, listen to what people are pointing out.  When socializing, stay behind the group.  If you have any questions you may contact me here!

COVID-19 UPDATE:

There will be no field trips in December due to the number of current cases and Ventura Country returning to Purple Tier. January is still to be decided.

In order to balance birding with safety, we will be implementing a number of COVID safety procedures that will limit the number of trips and attendees, and ensure distancing.   

​

• We are limiting trips to 4 people per 1 leader

• Advanced sign up required

• Participants will read, understand and adhere to our policy (click button below)

• Complete a pre-trip COVID questionnaire

​

All field trip attendees must sign up in advance, read and sign field trip documents, and wear a mask.
