Field Trip Leaders: Amy McDonald and Nancy Gronert

Join us for a morning of birding the Huichica Creek Unit of the Napa-Sonoma Marshes. We’ll bird the containment ponds, adjacent riparian areas, and the levee at the end of the main trail as we look for wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, gulls, terns, and more. This is an easy walk of approximately 1.5 miles on flat dirt trails. A porta potty is available near the parking lot.

Meeting Location: Meet Amy and Nancy at the parking lot at the end of Buchli Station Road.

Directions: From I-80 take exit 39B to Hwy 12W. At the intersection with Hwy 121, turn left on to Sonoma Hwy (Hwy 12/121). Turn left on Duhig Rd and in approximately 2 miles, turn left on Los Amigas Rd. Turn right (south) at Buchli Station Rd and continue through the vineyards until you cross the railroad tracks and enter the parking lot.
