Delta Winter Birding Tour with Dolphin Charters

Leader: Emily C

Date: Saturday February 21 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fee: $200 Nonmembers, $160 Members 

Description: Tour the delta on board the comfortable boat River Dolphin to explore the region’s rich habitats. Potentially we can see thousands of Tundra Swans, Snow Geese, White-fronted Geese, Sandhill Cranes, and Canada Geese, plus myriad ducks, raptors, herons, and songbirds. This full-day trip through the backwaters and channels of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta provides wildlife views you’d never get from the land, as well as a glimpse into the history and culture of this unique region. In recent years, participants have sighted six or more species of hawks and falcons while motoring through part of the thousand miles of waterways that make up this region.
