Upcoming Field Trips
​


There are no field trips currently scheduled, but check this spot regularly for future field trips.  Here is a description of some of our past field trips.

Field trips are free to Audubon members and non-members unless otherwise noted.  We encourage birders of all levels to participate.  Trips are subject to change or cancellations so you must pre-register with your contact information so we can reach you.  Remember to dress accordingly as the weather can be unpredictable in Nevada and abide by current social distancing guidelines.  Bring a mask, snack, water, and binoculars, if you have them.  Due to Covid 19, field trips are limited to 6 participants.

Thanks again to all our volunteers!

A BIG THANKS TO VORTEX OPTICS

Lahontan Audubon Society owes a huge thank you to Vortex Optics, ​who each year, for the last 7-plus years, have repaired a box full of well-used (some damaged) LAS binoculars ​used by the 500 or so elementary school children who attended the LAS field trips at Washoe Lake State Park.  Vortex has never charged LAS a penny for this terrific service and has even paid return shipping back to us.   We encourage anyone who may be looking for binoculars to check out Vortex Optics.  ​They have a great variety of binoculars in a wide price range and provide amazing service. 
​Thanks so much, Vortex.
