Field Trip: Napa-Sonoma Marshes WA—Huichica Creek Unit

Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leaders: Nancy Gronert and Amy McDonald

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.
