SAS Family Friendly Field Trip: Putah Creek Preserve

Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leader: Ben Graber

Join Ben for a morning walk along Putah Creek in search of migrants and wintering riparian birds. This trip will last, along with Ben’s alleged sense of humor, into early afternoon. Bring liquids and snacks. If participants so desire, Ben will include Lake Solano and Monticello Dam with lunch at Steady Eddy’s in Winters. This is a good trip for experienced birders, beginners, and younger birders alike.

Meeting Location: Meet Ben at the Park and Ride lot off I-80 in West Sacramento.

Directions: From Sacramento, take the West Capitol Ave Exit #81, turn left at the light, then left again into the Park and Ride lot. Loaner binoculars are available upon request.
