SUMMARY:TOUR #4226 - Migrating Birds Walk in the CRP Tall Forest
DESCRIPTION:TOUR DESCRIPTION\nThis year we have a unique opportunity to experience the Tall Forest at the Cosumnes River Preserve. Well-known field ornithologist\, John Trochet\, will lead you deep into one of the finest riparian habitats left in California. There you will see a rich variety of up to 90 resident and seasonal bird species. Since this is an early-morning tour\, you may also see beaver\, river otter\, striped skunk\, raccoon\, coyote\, squirrels\, deer and other animals. In spots\, the paths are nothing more than animal traces\, so dress prepared to push through the underbrush and berry thickets. This tour is appropriate for people who are sure-footed and able to walk several miles. Rubber knee boots are recommended because it is likely to be muddy and wet. Nature lovers and birders will not want to miss this tour because the Tall Forest is generally closed to the public. Rain or shine\, this will be an experience to remember. \n  \nTRANSPORTATION\nPersonal car \n  \nWALKING DISTANCE & TERRAIN\nThis tour requires the ability to walk two to five miles over uneven terrain with thick brush and wet areas. This tour requires the ability to stand for at least an hour or more. \n  \nLANDS PASS\nNo Lands Pass is required for this tour.  Visit the Tour FAQ page for more information. \n  \nNOTES/INSTRUCTIONS\nRubber knee boots & mosquito repellent are strongly recommended.  The guide has a rare intermittent work assignment which may result in the tour being canceled at the last minute.
