On this trip we will visit Lake Solano County Park where Putah Creek runs between Yolo and Solano Counties. We will be looking for resident species as well as those that spend the winter in the area. The oak woodland, riparian habitat and creek can result in bird sightings that include Osprey, Phainopepla and Wood Duck. There could be some surprises like Lewis’s Woodpecker, Red-breasted Sapsucker and Bald Eagle.
Participants will meet at Lake Solano County Park when the park opens at 8:00 am. Park in the day use area near the boat dock. A $8.00/car fee will be needed for parking in the day use lot.
All levels of birders are welcome. Trip will conclude early afternoon. Bring water, binoculars and spotting scopes if you have one. We will not be stopping for a designated lunch break. There is some walking on uneven terrain but for the most part it is flat. Rain and strong wind cancels trip. NO reservations are necessary.
