CONNOLLY RANCH FIELD TRIP
APRIL 28 @ 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (SUNDAY)

We will enter the gate to this private ranch at 8:00 a,m, on April 28. The ranch is in south of the County near the Carnegie State OMMV Park. Driving time from Stockton is about 45 min. You must Register with <dfries.audubon...> if you wish to go on the field trip. Bring food and water for yourself. The ranch is very hilly, being part of the Mt. Diablo Costal Range; thus, hiking with changes in altitude is probable. We hope to observe migrating species as well as species that prefer higher altitude habitat in this country. More detailed information will be emailed to all have registered near the date of the field trip.
