Field Trip Leader: Sonja Sorbo

This winter trip offers fantastic opportunities to view waterfowl, and it's one of the more reliable places near Sacramento to see Blue-winged Teal. Sometimes thousands of geese take flight over the water to the delight of birders. Other species to expect for the day include passerines, wetland birds, and raptors. We will spend some time walking the trails which are all well graded and on level ground. After lunch, we'll take a drive around the auto loop. If there's time and if the group agrees, we'll drive home to Sacramento via a different route looking for Sandhill Cranes, grassland birds, and raptors. 

Meeting place, directions, and other details will be provided upon registration.
