\ \ \ \ \ Leader: Rudy Darling 530-272-6504 [email protected] This walk is designed for beginners, but more skilled birders are helpful and welcome. We’ll talk about how and where to find birds, and what to look for when you sight one. We meet in the parking lot of the Briar Patch Market on Sierra College Drive in Grass Valley. We walk for a little less than two miles and it usually takes about two hours. Fifteen to twenty different species are almost guaranteed, especially with enough sharp eyes and ears. It’s a nice walk up over the hill at Sierra College and back to the Briar Patch. Come on out and help us find and identify some birds. Be aware of the weather and dress appropriately. A little light drizzle won’t cause a cancellation, but a real rain storm will. Please contact Rudy if the weather is questionable.
