| Something to ponder: "The last word of ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: 'What good is it?' If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like, but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." Aldo Leopold, The Sand County Almanac |

Note: Field trips and bird walks are free* and open to the public,
including beginners and newcomers. Dates and times are subject
to change. Bring your own food and water. Binoculars are very
useful. Carpooling is encouraged, and carpoolers are encouraged
to share expenses for gasoline. Prepare and dress for the climate
and the day's weather forecast; wear sturdy shoes and expect
some walking on most trips. Contact the field trip leader for more
information pertaining to a specific trip. Field trips are subject to
change so check before going either this web site or call the Field
Trip Chair.
*Some special fund-raising field trips and birding events will have
modest donation requests or fees.
Dog Policy: RVAS prefers that dogs are not present on bird walks.
This is to ensure that all participants are happy and comfortable.
Participants who do bring their dog on an outing are requested to
keep the dog in the car. Thank you for your cooperation.
