Have you always been interested in birds and want to learn more? This field trip is intended for beginning and inexperienced birders. Several Yolo Audubon members will lead this visit to the Putah Creek Reserve. The Reserve, on the west edge of the UCD campus, is an Oak Woodland and Riparian habitat. We will be looking for resident species as well as late fall migrants. The group may see hawks, Wood ducks, Western bluebirds, woodpeckers, and various warblers, among others. Expect a 2-mile walk on fairly level terrain.
Participants will meet at the gravel parking lot at the end of Hopkins Road at 7:30 AM. The trip will end by noon. Bring water and binoculars. The club does have some binoculars for loan. Rain or strong wind will cancel the trip. No reservations are necessary, everyone is welcome.
