Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leader: Molly Shea

As fall continues, we will take a leisurely walk along the American River starting at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery parking lot and working our way along foot trails that parallel the river. We should get good looks at the local resident birds and run into some of our local wintering species. Expect easy walking with frequent stops to scan the river, riparian habitat, and surrounding bluffs to see what interesting birds we can find. We will be on the lookout for gulls and waterfowl.

Meeting Location: Meet Molly at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery Parking Lot at the bottom of Nimbus Road. 

Directions: From Hwy 50 go north on Hazel Avenue; turn left on Gold Country Blvd. Make an immediate right on Nimbus Road and follow the signs to the hatchery.

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