Coming Events

Saturday, June 28, 9:00 - 11:00

Wigi Wetlands Workday

Saturday is the grand opening of the section of the bay trail from Eureka to Arcata! The area where we work is part of the longer trail, and I think we can all feel good about the improvements we've made there. We'll do a last bit of work Saturday morning to make it really shine, and still have time to join in the festivities!

Sunday, July 20 from 7 to 9 a.m.

Arcata Marsh’s Allen Marsh

Join Ken Burton for a short, early morning walk focusing on identifying juveniles. We'll also be on the lookout for American Bittern, which could be breeding there this year. Meet at the Brackish Pond pullout on South I St. (40.860973, -124.09330).

Special Summer Offering:

Monthly Pelagic Birding Trips!

Beginning in May, RRAS will be hosting monthly trips out of Humboldt Bay aboard the Stellar Sunrise, a 43-foot US Coast Guard-inspected vessel.

The following dates (Saturdays) are open for sign-ups: July 12, August 16, September 13, and October 11.

The cost is $150 per person, and each trip is limited to fifteen participants.

Details on these trips, including information on reserving your spot, are available here.

This month's Sandpiper is the Children's Issue!

See the wonderful entries in the

Student Bird Art Contest,

which were posted during Godwit Days at the Arcata Community Center.

And read what our young people have to say in the pieces produced for the

Nature Writing Contest.

We're making progress creating bird-friendly habit along the Waterfront Trail!

Join us the fourth Saturday of each month for two hours of rewarding work, great companions, and fresh air!

We gather behind Walmart at 9:00, and wrap things up at 11:00.

See photos of the changes we're creating here.

We have birding walks and/or volunteer opportunities every week! They are all free and open to the public unless stated otherwise.

Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary guided walks every Saturday, 8:30 am to about 11:00. All our regular walks at the Arcata Marsh meet at the end of South I Street (Klopp Lake) in Arcata.

Completely revised and updated, this book presents 26 birding routes throughout the county, with nearly 500 eBird hotspots mentioned.

It provides information on where and when to look for about 120 of Humboldt's less common birds, with numerous maps and photos.

The book is spiral bound for ease of use in the field.

Whether you're looking for a particular species or simply a good place to go birding in Humboldt, this book is for you!

We are happy to mail copies to you, and they are also available in many local locations. Click here for instructions to have one sent, and local locations to purchase a book.
