Students will be assigned to groups based on their birding ability and stay with the same group and leader for the weekend.  Schedule is subject to change based on birds, weather and direction of the field group leader.

Please Bring
A non-perishable bag lunch and a drink for Saturday (and also a non-perishable bag lunch and drink for Sunday if you plan to stay past lunch time), money for dinner on Saturday, binoculars (and/or spotting scope - if you have one), field guide, sunscreen, water bottle, and bug repellent.

Attire
Casual. Light-colored clothing (long pants) and socks, and sun hats. You may need to bring rain gear and/or a windbreaker.

Price

$80 per person, shared occupancy room; $130 for a single room.  Price includes instruction by top-notch field trip leaders, motel room (shared, double occupancy), and complimentary breakfast at the hotel. Each motel room has two double beds, so you may want to decide who you would like to room with in advance. Private rooms are $50 extra. No refunds after Wednesday, March 28 (though you may find someone to take your place if you need to cancel).

Special arrangements
 If you do not wish to stay overnight in the Montezuma area, you may join us for just the daytime for a reduced fee.   Note that the trip groups will leave at 7am from Sapsucker Woods and make multiple birding stops on the way up the lake on the way to MNWR.  If you meet us at MNWR you miss most of the birding on Saturday and because of this we generally do not accommodate this arrangement.

Students in the regular field trip section that do not chose to go on the special overnight trip will also be going to Montezuma on this weekend as part of a all day trip (7am to 4pm).
