If large numbers of Blue-winged Teal knock your socks off, join Maureen for this morning walk to view Teal and other shorebirds and waterfowl on the Pond and islands. A walk along the surrounding upland to the levee separating the West Sacramento area from the Yolo Causeway may produce other species as well. This trip involves walking on a level pathway of just over a mile. Scopes will be a valuable asset. Please note that there are no restrooms.
Meeting Location: Meet Maureen at Bridgeway Island Pond, West Sacramento.
