Special Instructions:
This is a loop hike at the Water Ranch. Our guide will be Kathe Anderson, a knowledgeable local birder, who has been leading guided tours for the Audubon Society for over 15 years. There is no entrance fee, however, there will be a $5.00 contribution to the Audubon Society, which the hike leader will collect that morning. Bring a hat, water, snack, camera and binoculars (if you have them). This hike is limited to 12 hikers.
