Introduction to Birding at the Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies
11639 Old Friant Rd, Fresno, CA 93730
Please register for the April 16 event here.
The Parkway Trust and Fresno Audubon Society have joined forces to offer a birding class that combines instruction, exploration, and fun! Beginning birders will see and learn about local and migratory birds that might be visiting the River Center. New birders will discover easy ways to identify migrating and year-round, local birds. The class will include a walk looking for birds in the various habitats found at the River Center. We will meet at the new picnic shelter on the north side of the center. After learning about using binoculars and various aids in bird identification like guide books and phone apps, we will bird around the property. Bring binoculars, lunch, water and sun protection. Fresno Audubon will have binoculars to loan if you do not have your own. Children are welcome! Rain cancels this event.
Class is held from 9 AM -12 PM on the third Saturday of each month from October through May.

Birding at the Ruth Mckenzie Preserve
This is a Sierra Foothill Conservancy event
Cost is $15-$30 depending on SFC membership
Registration is required for this event.
Register Here. You will be redirected to SFC’s event listing
Join Gary Woods and Robert Snow for birding at the Ruth Mckenzie Preserve. The walk is initially fairly easy, along a dirt road that undulates along a stream. After about a mile, the road crosses the stream, and the hiking becomes a bit steeper. We may see enough birds along that mile that we won’t cross the creek. Possible sightings are Acorn Woodpeckers, Lewis Woodpecker, Phainopepla, Red-Tailed Hawk, Bluebirds, and a nesting pair of Golden Eagles.
