Signing up for Trips

Send me a check or cash (sorry, no credit cards), indicating the trips in which you would like to participate. This will give you a "firm" hold a spot. You can email, phone or fax me to let me know for which trips you have an interest. I will put a "soft" hold on a spot for you, like a waiting list; but this will be mainly for my organizational use. Only your payment will assure a spot.

Please make your checks out to BirdNUTZ. Please indicate your desired trip dates in a note or on your check.

Send payments to:

BirdNUTZ
Les Chibana
SR 2, Box 335
La Honda CA 94020

If you let me know beforehand that you want to come on a trip, this can improve your chances of getting a place on the trip and can be a "tie-breaker" in case a trip overfills with concurrent payment. I will prioritize by chronological order of early notification.

Group Size Limits

Maximum group size for most trips will be 20 people. The owling trips will be 10 people maximum. If there seems to be a lack of interest in a scheduled trip, I may cancel or change its destination with approval of those signed up.

Cancellations

If you decide to not go on a trip that you've paid for, you may choose to apply your payment to another trip. If you don't choose to do so, I will give you a full refund only if you, or I, can fill the space that you vacated in time for the trip. Otherwise, I will refund you $10 on a half-day trip and $20 on a full-day trip. If I have to cancel the trip for my own reasons, I will make a full refund.

The Risks of Birding

Walking, hiking and driving are the usual modes of transportation for birding. The walking and hiking can take us over graded trails in parks, across a meadow where no trails exist, along a roadside with varying amounts of traffic. There are, typically, very low risks involved with birding activities. BirdNUTZ, as a rule, does not plan trips with excessive risks and we avoid hazardous situations. If you participate in a BirdNUTZ trip, you do so at your own risk. Your payment to participate means that you accept this risk. Thanks for your understanding.
