Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leader: Cliff Feldheim

Cliff will be looking for the enormous flocks of ducks, geese, and swans that winter in the Valley or stop to feed on their way south. This is also a good place for raptors, and Bald Eagles are a possibility. There is a 3.7 mile driving route and a great viewing platform as well. Bring lunch, snacks, and hydration as the refuge has no restaurant. This is a good trip for new and experienced birders alike.

FRS radios are helpful on this trip. Note that there is a $6 day use fee for each vehicle or buy a Duck Stamp ($25) which supports all of our national wildlife refuges and is valid July 1 to the following June 30.
