Field Trip Leader: Jason Talbott

Some of the winter waterfowl will have left but many will still be present, along with our resident birds, including raptors. This trip will cover both the flooded fields to the west and east of the visitors’ center, along with trails to the Cosumnes River. We will look for Common Yellow-throat, Marsh Wren, Virginia Rail, Song Sparrow, and the elegant Northern Harrier.
