This free trip is for participants who are new to bird watching, or just curious about wild birds. This trip is appropriate for children 5 yrs. and older. The Woodland East Regional Pond, also known by local birders as the Farmers Central Pond, is a storm water catchment, landscaped with native plantings that attracts both resident and migrant birds. Easy-walking pathways and viewing platforms will this enhance this outing. When water is available, the pond hosts Canada Geese, Great & Snowy Egrets and other water birds. In the trees, shrubs and grasses, we can expect to see Yellow-rumped Warblers, White-crowned Sparrows and other small birds. Meet at 8:15 AM at the Woodland East Regional Pond parking lot at the “T” intersection of Yolo County Road 102 and Farmers Central Road in Woodland. Trip will conclude by noon. Yolo Audubon Co-Leaders Ken Ealy & Carlos Castaneda will have binoculars to loan, but if you have binoculars, bring them. Strong wind cancels trip. If you have questions, you may contact Ken (530) 219-1217.
