As fall migration gets into full swing, we will take a leisurely walk along the American River starting at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery parking lot and working our way downstream along  foot trails that parallel the river. We should get good looks at the local resident breeding birds and run into a few early migrants making their way south. Expect easy walking with  frequent stops to scan the river, riparian habitat, and surrounding bluffs to see what interesting birds we can find.

Meeting Location: Meet Kevin at the parking lot of the Nimbus Fish Hatchery at the bottom of Nimbus Road. From Hwy 50 go north on Hazel Avenue; turn left on Gold Country Blvd. and the hatchery is on your right.

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