TOUR DATE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2024

TIME: 5:15-6:30 p.m.

DESCRIPTION: This tour has all the excitement of the other fly-in tours in the area, but visitors will be able to view the Sandhill Cranes (and other birds) from the comfort of a viewing shelter. Seating is provided and maps, charts, and pictorials are on display. Also, visitors will be treated to a presentation by Department of Fish and Wildlife docents. The Woodbridge Ecological Reserve North Unit is generally closed to the public, so it is not uncommon for the cranes to settle in up close and personal.

LANDS PASS: All participants are required to carry a current Lands Pass, fishing or hunting license. Go to https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/lands-pass for more information about how to purchase a Lands Pass. You will be required to show your pass or license at that time. For more information about CDFW tours during the season go to this CDFW website.

TRANSPORTATION: You will drive your own vehicle.

CHECK-IN: Check in with your guide at the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve NORTH UNIT parking lot at 4:55 p.m.

 NOTE: Binoculars or a spotting scope will be helpful.
