Join Cliff for a day of birding at this State Park. The birdlife varies depending on the season, but many species are seen year round, including Turkey Vultures, Scrub and Steller’s Jays, California Quail, Acorn and Hairy Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, Hermit Thrushes, Wild Turkeys, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. In summer, the bright colors of the Western Tanager, Bullock's Oriole, Calliope and Anna’s Hummingbirds can be seen in the woods around the meadow. A bird list is available at the museum. Trip goes until 12 or 1 PM, so bring water and we often end with lunch at the small picnic area. There will be some light to moderate walking.

Meeting Location: Meet Cliff at the Starbucks parking area in the College Greens Shopping Center in the 8300 block of Folsom Blvd (near Florin-Perkins, between Watt and Howe) at 7:00am. Alternatively, you can meet up with us at the parking lot at the park by the museum at 8:00am.
