Field Trips
Liability Waiver
AltaCal Bird Alliance requires that the Liability Waiver be completed and signed before participating in any field trip. Each participant only needs to complete one per year for AltaCal (although this does NOT cover the liability waiver for the Snow Goose Festival). The Field Trip Coordinator will keep the Master File of all completed forms and send the information to the Field Trip Leaders before their trips.
Pre-registration required
- Signing an AltaCal Bird Alliance Liability Waiver is a requirement to attend all field trips. AltaCal's scheduled field trips are a great way to experience a variety of birding areas, with an experienced trip leader. Occasionally “Pop-up” Birding Field Trips, that aren’t listed here, will be posted on the AltaCal Facebook Page.
Monthly Program Presentations
Monthly Programs and Presentations for the general community are held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. In December the meeting is held on the 2nd Monday.
In June, July, and August there are no meetings.
