DECEMBER 7 – WINTER MIGRATION BIRD WALK

Join Jesse Grantham for a birding tour of the Ojai Meadows Preserve on Saturday morning, December 7th, at 8:30 AM.  This is winter migration time so you will have a chance to learn about bird species who make their home here year round, or just in the winter and those who just stop by for a rest on their way somewhere else.

The Ojai Valley Land Conservancy acquired the Ojai Meadows Preserve in 2001 and since then has worked to restore the former weed-choked parcel to its original state as natural wetlands.  Since restoration work first began over a hundred bird species have returned to call the Meadows home.  Meet at the kiosk entrance by the turnout on highway 33 next to Nordhoff.  This is an easy 2 hour walk on uneven ground so wear sturdy shoes and bring water and sun protection and binoculars if you have them.

Jesse Grantham is a renowned bird expert, the retired coordinator for the US Fish and Wildlife Service National Condor Recovery program. and former board member of the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy.
