Folsom Point juts out into the lake and is one of several good areas for scoping water birds. The open oak woodland usually harbors fair numbers of Western Bluebirds and other expected species for this habitat. The boat launch is fairly reliable for Rock Wren. The entrance fee to the State Recreation Area (0.5 miles from the Raley’s meeting point) is $12 or free with a state park pass.

Meeting Location: Meet Rich at the Raley’s parking lot, 25025 Blue Ravine Rd. Folsom, CA  95630 (at E. Natoma St).

Directions: From Highway 50, take the Folsom Boulevard exit (exit 23 —18.5 miles east of Interstate 5). Go north for 1.5 miles and turn right on Blue Ravine Road. Go 4.4 miles. Turn right into the shopping center parking lot (just before East Natoma Street).

COVID 19 Precautions: All participants and field trip leaders must be vaccinated.
