Field Trip Leader: Bill Bianco

Bill will bird the old Ramsey Fire (2012) site, located in eastern Calaveras County at 6600 ft. elevation. It is a 2 - 2.5 hr. drive from the meeting site. We plan to walk the fire roads looking for woodpeckers, Western Tanagers, and the other passerine birds. Depending on time, we may stop at the Stanislaus River campground for additional birding. The trip will last until late afternoon. Bring lunch, liquids, insect repellent, sunscreen, and FRS radios for drive communication.

Meeting Location: Meet Bill at the Twin Cities Road Park and Ride Lot near Galt.
