Western Placer County can often rival the great wildlife refuges in numbers and diversity of waterfowl, and it is also known for large concentrations of raptors. Besides the expected species, Eurasian Wigeon, Bald Eagle, Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawks, and Lewis’s Woodpecker are all possible. Join Richard for a full day of exploring this diverse area and bring liquids, lunch, and FRS radios if you have them. Rain will cancel trip. This will be a driving trip and would be best with fewer than more vehicles.

Meeting Location: Meet at the Park & Ride by Brookfield’s Restaurant, 1817 Taylor Road in Roseville.  

Directions: From Sacramento on I-80, take the Eureka Road offramp (Exit 105A) and continue straight through the signal light at Eureka Road and you’ll be on Taylor Road. Turn left just past the Shell Station and park on the right in the Park & Ride.

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