SUMMARY:TOUR #4226 - Early morning Crane Fly-out with Paul Tebbel #2
DESCRIPTION:TOUR DESCRIPTION\nEarly morning fly-outs are one of the most memorable experiences at the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve. As the sun rises\, cranes leave their overnight roosts in the wetlands and fly to nearby fields to feed. Their distinctive rattling calls and large flocks taking flight make for an impressive start to the morning. \nLed by crane expert Paul Tebbel\, this tour offers an opportunity to learn about Sandhill Crane behavior\, migration\, and conservation while observing them in their natural habitat. Depending on weather conditions and crane activity\, the group may also travel along Woodbridge Road to watch cranes feeding in the surrounding fields. \n  \nTRANSPORTATION\nPersonal car \n  \nWALKING DISTANCE & TERRAIN\nThis tour is fully accessible and requires limited physical effort. This tour requires the ability to stand for at least an hour. Or you may want to bring a camp chair for your comfort. \n  \nLAND PASS\nYes \n  \nNOTES/INSTRUCTIONS\n-Early morning conditions can be cold\, damp\, and foggy.

SUMMARY:TOUR #4526 - Migrating Birds Walk in the CRP Tall Forest
DESCRIPTION:TOUR DESCRIPTION\nThis year we have a unique opportunity to experience the Tall Forest at the Cosumnes River Preserve. A well-known field ornithologist will lead you deep into one of the finest riparian habitats left in California. There you will see a rich variety of up to 90 resident and seasonal bird species. Since this is an early-morning tour\, you may also see beaver\, river otter\, striped skunk\, raccoon\, coyote\, squirrels\, deer and other animals. In spots\, the paths are nothing more than animal traces\, so dress prepared to push through the underbrush and berry thickets. This tour is appropriate for people who are sure-footed and able to walk several miles. Rubber knee boots are recommended because it is likely to be muddy and wet. Nature lovers and birders will not want to miss this tour because the Tall Forest is generally closed to the public. Rain or shine\, this will be an experience to remember. \n  \nTRANSPORTATION\nPersonal car \n  \nWALKING DISTANCE & TERRAIN\nThis tour requires the ability to walk two to five miles over uneven terrain with thick brush and wet areas. This tour requires the ability to stand for at least an hour or more. \n  \nLAND PASS\nNo \n  \nNOTES/INSTRUCTIONS\nRubber knee boots & mosquito repellent are strongly recommended. Guide has a rare intermittent work assignment. Tour may be canceled at the last minute. \n
