The Race to 100 with Donito Burgess and Luke Safford

Friday, January 2: Time: 7:30am – 4:00pm

$50/member, $100/non-member

Trip Difficulty: Moderate. Fast-paced and multiple short walks over varied terrain. No long hikes, but we’ll be continuously moving and getting in and out of vehicles.

Let’s see if we can start out 2026 with 100 species! Exact route to be determined by leaders and shared with group the week before. We will split up into two groups of 10, one led by Donito, the other led by Luke, and we’ll meet up in the middle to have a quick lunch and compare bird notes. We will need a couple extra drivers for each group. This will be a fast-paced trip! We’ll plan to meet at our first location in town at 7:30am and re-convene at the same location at 4:00pm. Bring a lunch and everything you’ll need for the day. Don’t worry, we’ll stop for bathroom breaks! Limited to 18 participants.
