Join the Gold Ridge Resource Conservation District on a walk of the Estero Americano wetlands to view and discuss the incredible birds that thrive in its delicate habitat. Learn how private lands provide wetland habitat, and hear dairyman Steve Moody’s perspective on a lifetime of dairying in the Estero Americano. We’re sure to see many birds of a feather with the help of knowledgeable birding guides as we walk a flat 3 mile course along the wetland edge. We have the great opportunity to even walk a section of private land along the estuary: the 1,500-acre Ielmorini-Moody Dairy, preserved since 2002 by Sonoma and Marin County land preservation agencies. 62 shorebirds and waterfowl stop in the Estero including grebes, pintails, herons, godwits, snipes, curlews and cormorants.
Bring your binoculars, layered clothing, sun protection and sturdy, waterproof shoes for this energizing outing.
This is a FREE event soon as space is limited.
