TOUR DATE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2024

TIME: 4:15 – 5:30 p.m.

DESCRIPTION: The Woodbridge Ecological Reserve is one of the few locations where Sandhill Cranes consistently roost in the Delta. At dusk, in large groups that can number from several hundred to several thousand, the cranes converge on the South Unit’s flooded fields for the night. Often this spectacle of flight and vocalization is backdropped by stunning sunsets behind Mt. Diablo. CDFW Docents will give a presentation on the cranes in a private viewing area. The cranes determine end times for evening tours.

LANDS PASS: Attendance will be limited to those who register below. All adults and youth 16 and older are required to have a Lands Pass, or hunting license, or fishing license. A Lands Pass may be purchased at https://wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/lands-pass.

TRANSPORTATION: You will drive your won vehicle.

CHECK-IN: Meet your guides at 4:05 p.m. at Woodbridge Ecological Reserve South at the west end of the parking lot, near the viewing mound.

NOTE: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS ON SATURDAY Binoculars or a spotting scope might be helpful. Be prepared to stand for more than an hour or bring a camp chair for your comfort.
