About This Cause
The Sacramento Valley is in the Great Pacific Flyway, the bird migration route from Alaska to Mexico. In Sacramento you can see about 250 species of birds. The Sacramento Audubon Society organizes birdingwatching trips that go north to Sacramento Wildlife Refuge, east to the Sierra foothills & mountains, south to the San Joaquin River delta, and west to the Pacific Ocean. There are trips every weekend and often during weekdays. There is no cost for these trips and one does not have to be a member of SAS to participate. Trip leaders volunteer over 1,200 hours to share their knowledge of the local birds and their habitats. The Society also offers monthly slide-shows of birds from other regions and countries as well as other topics of ecological research and conservation.
