A leisurely walk along the American River should turn up many of our resident and winter visiting Oak Woodland and River birds. This trip is suitable for bird lovers of all levels. We will have at least one scope for closer views of more stationary birds.

The accessibility of Ancil Hoffman Park has not been evaluated by Sacramento Audubon at this time (https://www.sacramentoaudubon.org/accessible-birding). Walking in the riparian area is fairly level on an unpaved trail or grass; a paved trail is available farther from the river.

Meeting Location: Meet Rich and Betty in the farthest parking area on Tarshes Drive where the road curves right to the golf course clubhouse.

Directions: From California Ave in Fair Oaks, take the Tarshes Drive entrance and follow it all the way to the last parking lot on your left. Email Betty if further directions are required.

Fees: A SAC County Park Pass, or $6 entry fee is required for all vehicles.
