Trip Leader: Manfred Kusch
Description: TRIP IS FULL
Tour Manfred Kusch’s birding gardens between Davis and Winters. Kusch has cultivated his home garden and surrounding area, which borders Putah Creek, into a true birding extravaganza. He attracts a wide variety of birds in the gardens and habitat around the house, especially hummingbirds and orioles. The multi-layered vegetation on either side of the creek hosts a variety of spring migrants, including grosbeaks, tanagers, warblers, and vireos.
Accessibility:
This trip will involve some walking around in the Kusch gardens, along with a stroll along well-maintained trails paralleling the creek. Most of these are flat, but there are small slopes in a few spots. There will be frequent stops to look for and photograph birds.
