Slow Birding Journey

Do you enjoy a slow walk in a valley, breezes, wildflowers, the sounds of songbirds, the taste of a Douglas Fir needle or a California Bay leaf, the aroma of Tarweed, or watching wild turkeys and California Quail hunt for seeds and insects in the grass? Join Certified California Naturalists and Sugarloaf docents for this series of meandering explorations. Each month (weather permitting) we will explore one or two of our three accessible trails-- the Creekside Trail, the Nature Trail, and the Meadow trail. Suitable for all levels and a range of mobility, these Sunday afternoon adventures will accommodate people using walkers or wheelchairs, young children, parents with babies in strollers, as well as those who just enjoy slow walks in nature that stimulate the five senses.

Our May outing will focus on the birds of Sugarloaf. Tickets are $5 for adults and free for children under 18 years of age. All minors must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. Tickets day-of, on site will be $10 and might not be available. Meet at the White Barn parking lot.

There will be frequent stops and opportunities for conversation, photography, nature journaling, wildlife viewing, resting, etc., so bring your nature journal, camera, or binoculars if you have them. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sun protection, bring water and if desired, a snack. Parking fees apply.
