May 2-3 2009 Tulare and Kings County Birding Event!

A weekend of field trips and programs in Tulare and Kings Counties is
planned for 2-3 May 2009 by the Central Valley Bird Club. Field trips will be led by Steve Summers and will include Saturday trips in Tulare Co. (with
emphasis on the Creighton Ranch Preserve) and Sunday trips to the Tulare
Lake Drainage District properties in Kings County.

The Saturday evening program will consist of talks by Steve Laymon on the Atwell Island Restoration Project, Pam Williams on Sandhill Cranes at Pixley NWR, and Rob Hansen on the history of Tulare Lake, as well as the birds of the area.  The evening program will start at 7:00 pm.  We will be meeting for dinner after the field trip and prior to the evening program.

All activities will start from the BLM facility at 3945 Road 38 in Alpaugh. 

Saturday morning meet at 6:30 am for Tulare County birding. 

Sunday morning meet at 7:00 am for Kings County birding.

Motels are available in nearby Tulare and Delano.

Our after-Thanksgiving 2007 trip to do some swan identification was a success.  See details on our web page here:
