Central Valley Birding Symposium – Stockton
Join others from all over the country and meet great birders and naturalists such as Ed Harper, Keith Hansen, Dan Airola and Ed Pandolfino in a variety of presentations and workshops. Enjoy the ever popular “stump the experts” bird ID panel which is always fun and a great way to learn difficult identifications.

Waterbirds of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Join Point Blue ecologists in the wetlands of the San Francisco Bay Delta at Staten Island and the Cosumnes River Preserve to learn about our long-term involvement in monitoring and guiding habitat management for wintering waterbirds. The Delta is vitally important for California’s water supply, agricultural activities and wildlife. A large proportion of the state’s Pacific Flyway migratory water birds rely on the region’s agricultural fields and wetlands and astonishing numbers of waterbirds can be viewed in the winter months.
