SUMMARY:California: Desert\, Mountains and Coast Birding Tour
DESCRIPTION:Birding Tour – California\nJoin Bill Sweetman of Bsweet Tours on a birding/natural history tour to one of the most diverse and fascinating states in the entire USA – California. We will visit a wide variety of beautiful habitats on this California Birding Tour as we search for birds and experience California’s diverse flora and fauna. This tour will take us into the Mohave Desert\, the southern most passes of the Sierra Nevada and to the beautiful central Pacific coast where we will visit some wonderfully scenic birding sites. While along the coast we will take a boat from Ventura to Santa Cruz Island National Park (SCI) providing opportunity to find the endemic Island Scrub Jay and possibly sea birds en route. This tour will explore most of the major bird groups\, from sea birds\, ducks and shorebirds\, to hummingbirds and passerines. Our goal is to see all of the California endemic species.\nAn additional note: if winter has provided significant rain\, the wild flower show in many locations is itself worth the trip. \nCost\n• Ground transportation from the point of origin at LAX\, all lodging\, breakfasts beginning on 29 April through 5 May\, picnic lunches\, all admissions and boat trip to Santa Cruz Island National Park.\n• Cost is $1250 per person double occupancy. A deposit of $350 will reserve a spot on the tour.\n• Note: Bill always attempts to keep trip costs as reasonable as possible to appeal to all pocketbooks. Unfortunately\, everything in California is pricey.\n• Lodging will be in Best Westerns and Choice Hotel properties
