San Joaquin Audubon Society is back with field trips starting June, 2021. We will follow COVID protocols and limit the number of participants to 14. We adhere to the CODE OF BIRDING ETHICS of the American Birding Association and to the National Audubon Society’s GUIDE TO ETHICAL BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY. Please follow these codes whether you are birding by yourself or joining our field trip.
Follow this golden rule of birding: When in doubt, first consider the welfare of the bird.
Thanks for being a responsible birder!
