JOIN SAN JOAQUIN AUDUBON FOR A NEW KIND OF FIELD TRIP:  “DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) FIELD TRIP”

Here’s how it works: 
·      SESSION I (Virtual) (Thursday, October 29)  A Zoom meeting with the field trip leader.  For this first time out, Pat Paternostro will introduce a local birding site—Lodi Lake Nature Area—and the birds you’re likely to see there, such as  Wood Duck, Hermit Thrush, Coopers Hawk, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Fox Sparrow and Yellow-rumped Warbler. (Birders of all levels are welcome).
·      SESSION 1+ is the DIY part:  before the next Zoom meeting, you visit the birding location, where you’ll look for the listed birds and other wildlife.  Take binoculars and a bird field guide if you have them and keep a list of your observations.  Please follow all COVID-19 precautions when you are in the field: wearing masks, observing social distancing and hand washing.
·      SESSION 2 (Virtual) Usually the third week after the first meeting,  participants join again on Zoom, sharing what they found, and there will be an introduction to the next DIY field trip location.
