Eastern Sierra Audubon Society Presents

2013 Owens Lake Fall Big Day

Tuesday, August 20, 7:00am

Our Fall Big Day will be on Tuesday, August 20, 2013. The data that we gather will be used in the management of habitat and birds by LADWP, Audubon Society, State Lands Commission and CA Department of Fish and Wildlife. Your commitment to Owens Lake in real terms is invaluable. Com and help census this Important Bird Area!

Meet at 7:00 AM at the Diaz Lake parking lot. We will have a brief introduction and then go out to the lake in small groups. Carpooling is helpful, although not required. Roads are unpaved, but good. Bring a safety vest if you have one. We will provide them as well.

Dress in layers. August will be hot, but the morning can be cool on the lake.

Bring water, snacks, lunch, hat, and sunscreen. Also bring a camera, bird books, pencils/pens, binos and a scope if you have one.
