We will meet at the Denny's on I-80 Newcastle exit at 3:00 PM. We will then caravan to Mosquito Ridge, stopping on the way for sandwiches at Worten's. We will bird a bit while daylight happens, then go to Big Trees for Spotted Owls. Then we will descend to Little Oak Flat to try for Flammulated Owls. This can go very late into the night with arrival times back at Denny's near midnight or not, depending on the birds. 

Meeting Location: Denny's on I-80, Newcastle exit at 3:00 PM

Special Provisions: It can get chilly so layer appropriately. Bring mosquito repellant. Mosquito Ridge aptly named. Higher profile vehicles are preferable for Little Oak Flat. Bring owl lights if you have them, but they are not necessary.

COVID 19 Precautions:
