Judged by many as one of the premier birding events in the West, the CVBS is hosted by the Central Valley Bird Club. The number of participants usually reaches near complete capacity so plan to register early if you want to attend.

It’s clear that Covid-19 isn’t quite done. In order to keep everyone safe, this year’s symposium will have three days of live in-person field trips around the Central Valley with two shorter days of virtual programs. There will be a mix of familiar itineraries and new specialty trips, with leaders new and old. Depending on your trip point of departure, you may choose to stay nearby or drive from home. In addition, you can decide whether to share a car with others.

All field trips and virtual programs require registration.
