Field Trip Leader: Maureen Geiger and Cliff Feldheim

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 and climbing and descending a fairly steep levee path. Scopes will be a valuable asset. Please note that there are no restrooms.

Meet Maureen at Bridgeway Island Pond, West Sacramento.  From downtown Sacramento, take Hwy. 50 west, cross over the Sacramento River and exit on Jefferson Boulevard. Turn left onto Jefferson and right on Lake Washington Boulevard. From Lake Washington Boulevard, turn left onto Southport Parkway. At 2.8 miles, turn right on Oakland Bay Drive, make an immediate right onto Bowen Island Street, left on Solomon Island Road and right on Pender Island Road. Park at the end of the cul-de-sac and on surrounding streets.
