Birdability Week is a celebration of birding and inclusivity put on by the National Audubon Society. On Saturday, October 26th, join Yolo Bird Alliance for its own celebration of Birdability Week at Lake Solano County Park. This location is known to birders far and wide for its impressive diversity of bird species, all of which can be viewed from the many paved, flat paths which meander through the park. It is an excellent place to spend a morning, and on this day we will come together to share the joy of birdwatching at our own pace. Once at the park, we will take a few relaxing walks and observe the birds and nature around us. Everyone is welcome!
Participants may expect to see charismatic species such as Common Merganser, Oak Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, and Acorn Woodpecker. If we’re lucky, perhaps a Phainopepla or Osprey will stop by. No matter what we see, it is certain to be a good time and is an opportunity to ensure birding is accessible to all. This trip is open to everyone whether mobility impaired or not.
Bring snacks, water, and binoculars or a camera if you have them. All walking will be on paved, even terrain, and walking distances short. The group will return to its meeting location in Davis around 11:00am.
