THE TALK: December 3rd, 5:30-7 pm (Wednesday), on Zoom and in person at KBO headquarters
THE WALK: December 7th, 7:30 am-5 pm (Sunday), an outing to the Lower Klamath Wildlife Refuge
Using photography and the history of the land and its birds, explore this PowerPoint presentation of one of the most amazing wildlife refuges in our backyard. The Lower Klamath Lake part of the refuge was established in 1908 by Teddy Roosevelt. This is the first refuge protected specifically for migratory birds. This presentation is an invitation to visit the Refuge and will provide information on how to get there and what you might expect to see in terms of glory. Brochures will be available.

- Binoculars (can be provided) and plenty of water
- Snacks and lunch to enjoy on the go
- Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy walking shoes (we’ll walk slowly and not too far)
For the field trip, there is a maximum of 16 people, accommodated in 4 cars, each with 4 passengers. The Zoom registration is unlimited.
Sliding Scale: $0–$100
