Upcoming Field Trips, |
NOTE: Field trips are free* and open to the public, including beginners and newcomers. Dates and times are subject to change. Bring your own food and water. Binoculars are very useful. Carpooling is encouraged, and carpoolers are encouraged to share expenses for gasoline. Prepare and dress for the climate and the day's weather forecast; wear sturdy shoes and expect some walking on most trips. Contact the field trip leader for more information pertaining to a specific trip.
*Some special fund-raising field trips and birding events will have modest donation requests or fees.
ABOUT DOGS: Dog Policy: RVAS prefers that dogs are not present on bird walks. This is to ensure that all participants are happy and comfortable. Participants who do bring their dog on an outing are requested to keep the dog in the car. Thank you for your cooperation.
