Field Trip Leader: John York

We will visit the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, with a stop at Colusa and other points in the area given time. This is a great place to view the enormous flocks of ducks, geese and swans that winter in the valley or stop to feed on their way south. This is also a good place for raptors, and Bald Eagles can be found here regularly. There is a 3.7 mile driving route and a great viewing platform as well. This trip will last into the afternoon, so bring lunch, drinks and warm clothes. FRS radios are helpful on this trip. This is a good trip for newer birders and experienced birders alike.

A RSVP to John is helpful so we know to look for you.
