Learn about great blue herons and their place in the local ecosystem while exploring Riverfront Regional Park. We’ll walk up to 2.5 miles on a flat, accessible trail to look for great blue heron nesting sites. This is a great opportunity to glimpse a new generation of North America's largest heron in this rookery along the Russian River. Casual birders are welcome! Bring binoculars or a spotting scope and be prepared for cool weather. For more information, contact Ellie Muelrath at communityengagementprograms@sonoma-county.org. Registration required.
Please bring your own water and snacks. We recommend participants dress in layers and bring a hat and sunscreen. Most programs will happen rain or shine, but may be canceled during heavy rains, heavy smoke, or extreme temperatures. Accommodations will be made for visitors with disabilities upon advance request. Parking is $7 or free with a Regional Parks membership.
