Special Events

The staff of Kern and Pixley National Wildlife Refuges would like you to come and join us, Saturday, November 14, 2009, from 4:00p.m-7:00p.m. at the Pixley NWR to welcome back the Sandhill Cranes and to enjoy the cool fall weather. On November 4, 2009, Refuge staff conducted the second crane survey of the winter, recording over 4,500 birds! Participants are invited to meet with Refuge staff at the Pixley parking lot at 4:00 p.m. for an opportunity to socialize, enjoy light refreshments that will be provided, and to learn more about current and upcoming undertakings at both refuges. We will then walk to the observation platform to watch the nightly Sandhill Crane fly-in to the refuge where they will roost for the evening. Please bring a flashlight, sturdy comfortable shoes, and wear cloting in layers, as it can be cloudy and cool at this time of year. For more information, directions to Pixley Refuge, and to R.S.V.P. please contact the Refuge at 661-725-2767. Hope to see you there!
