On this trip we will visit Cache Creek Nature Preserve, a private/non-profit outdoor preserve that has gone through more than 25 years of habitat restoration work located just off the Cache Creek Watershed in Woodland, CA. We will be looking for resident species and those that breed here in the area. A combination of wetland, riparian forest, creek, and grassland habitats will provide an opportunity to see a variety of birds such as Wood Ducks, Tree Swallows, Western Kingbirds, Pied-billed Grebes, and lots of Red-winged Blackbirds. There are also occasional sightings of Ash-throated Flycatchers, American White Pelicans, White-faced Ibises, and Common Gallinules.
Meet at 7:00 AM at the parking lot of Cache Creek Nature Preserve, 34199 Co Rd 20, Woodland, CA. All levels of birders are welcome. Trip will conclude at around 10:00 AM.
Bring water, binoculars and spotting scopes if you have one. We will also provide additional binoculars, but it’s STRONGLY RECOMMENNDED to bring your own. There won’t be much walking on uneven terrain. Much of the walk will be on established trails that are mostly flat. Rain and strong winds will cancel trip.
