2024 Field Trips
All CSAS trips are open to the public, and beginning birders, including children, are welcome on day trips. Bring drinking water and a lunch or snacks. Suggested apparel: muted colors in clothing and hats; sturdy shoes, a sun hat and sunscreen, and insect repellent are advisable for all trips. Dress layered, particularly in winter months. Carry water and snacks. Bring binoculars, spotting scopes and birding field guides if you have them.
NOTE: Heavy rain cancels field trips. If in doubt, call the trip leader by one hour before the meeting time and/or check this website. “If in doubt, check it out!”

I can’t guarantee a Pileated Woodpecker (PIWO) or a White-headed Woodpecker (WHWO) every time, but we will see as many of the 163 species as we have the good fortune. Hikes are gentle with very little elevation gain, and last two to four hours. Bruce McClenahan
