. . . and the Green Heron (attached photo, here) (© Len Blumin) is one we're likely to see in creek bottomland areas when our upcoming 11/6 - 12/14/08 class meets for five field trips (in addition to the three classroom sessions).
To register, note the procedure in other areas of this blog site
(www.merritt.edu and the class is BIOL 48 NU or ENVST 48 OG)
Other "waterbirds" we're most apt to see include at least a dozen duck species, four (more) heron family members, and almost a dozen shorebird species -- in addition to three loon, three cormorant, and (if you are daring and intrepid) as many as a half dozen gull species.
Note that I'll have extra binoculars for the field trips -- and my high-powered spotting scope magnifies distant birds with a zoom lens that goes from 20 power to 60 power.
Regards, Daniel
