Spend an
early spring weekend at Audubon California’s beautiful
4000-acre Starr Ranch Sanctuary in southeast Orange County.
We will use a variety of survey techniques to compare bird species
and diversity found in upland oak woodlands vs. riparian (streambank)
woodlands. Participants will also learn about the importance
of riparian woodlands for rare breeding birds and neotropical
migrants.

birds by sound and sight, you will learn how to survey for birds
using point counts, playback survey and evening owl survey.
We will visit many beautiful sites within oak and riparian woodlands
throughout Starr Ranch. |
