This Field Trip is now FULL, but you can use the RSVP link to sign up for the waitlist. Please also see other events in our calendar for future field trips.

Meet at Diaz Lake County Park parking lot on Hwy 395 just south of Lone Pine. 9am-1pm. RSVP for the waitlist

This will be a drive, stop, look around trip with little walking. Wear layers; bring a hat, water, food, sunscreen, binocs, scope. Unpaved surfaces, but all vehicles are fine. Expect to see a good diversity of shorebird and waterfowl species.

Fall shorebird migrants are traveling from the Arctic Circle, where they nested, to Central and South America for our winter. Saline lakes in the western U.S. and Canada are critical stopovers for rest and fattening up. Species include Western and Least sandpipers, Greater Yellowlegs, American Avocets, Black-necked Stilts, White-faced Ibis, Long-billed Curlew, Mallard, Gadwall and Cinnamon Teal.
