Event: Bird Walk in American Canyon Wetlands & Beaks Workshop

Date: Saturday August 01, 2015

Time: 9:00 AM

Join us for a brief adaptations workshop on beaks, followed by a walk around American Canyon Wetlands. (NSAS Event)

Details:

Ever wonder why some bird's bills are so different from another? Why does a duck have such a wide bill, a hummingbird such a long skinny bill, and why is the flamingo's bill "upside down?" We will explore why bird bills have become the way they are.

Meet at American Canyon Wetlands on Wetlands Edge Road and Eucalyptus Drive. The workshop begins at 9 a.m. near the Wetlands parking lot, followed by bird walks at 9:30 until noon. Walks are on flat ground and appropriate for all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult). Bring binoculars if you have them and water. Contact Wendy at napa-solano-birds@outlook.com for more information.
