Set sail with OLLI from the Antioch Marina for a unique boat cruise through an important wintering area for waterfowl along the Pacific Flyway. Winter brings huge rafts of waterfowl, including migrating tundra swans and snow, Canada and greater white-fronted geese. Ducks, as well as numerous other groups including gulls, terns, bitterns, passerines and woodpeckers, call this area home in the cold season. We may also see hawks, falcons, great-horned owls, shorebirds and possibly some sandhill cranes. Our river guide will share facts about the Delta itself, including what it is, how it got here, changes it has seen and what might be in store for the future.
Note: Boat capacity is strictly limited to 25 passengers. Be prepared for inclement weather and a seven-hour voyage with a choice of enclosed or outdoor seating (on the upper deck, accessible only by stairway.) Non-refundable fee covers bus, breakfast items on bus and boat transport and guide’s commentary. Please pack your own lunch and snacks. Beverages and bathrooms are available on board. Parking and bus pick up location will be emailed one week in advance of trip. In the event of serious weather changes, our group may be rescheduled to the following week at the discretion of the captain. Keep dates February 5 and 12 open on your calendar as no refunds will be given due to postponement for weather.
