TOUR DATE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2024

TOUR TIME: 10:10 a.m. – 12:10 p.m.

DESCRIPTION: Want to escape the classroom? Then this tour is for you. Dr. Gary Ivey will take you out to the fields where you can learn first-hand about the foraging and behavioral habits of Sandhill Cranes. The Delta has a variety of food sources available, including corn, rice, alfalfa, native plants, insects, and small critters. Dr. Ivey will share his wealth of knowledge about what brings thousands of cranes to this region and how they go about their business during daytime hours. Sandhill Cranes don’t stay in one place, so you will travel together to several locations. This is a unique opportunity to have your questions answered in a small group setting by the preeminent crane expert in our valley.
