Field Trip
Join us for a trip to the pastures of southeastern Solano County to search for overwintering raptors & Mountain Plovers. We will search fields, perches and farm equipment. Prior trips have spotted Prairie Falcons, Merlins, Golden Eagles, Ferruginous Hawks, Rough- legged hawks and Mountain Plovers. We hope to see these and many more species during this trip.
Little walking is anticipated. Wear appropriate winter wear, the area is generally windy. Bring water, snacks and/or lunch. Bring binoculars and a spotting scope, if you have one. STRONG winds or heavy rain cancels the trip. All levels of birders are welcome.
Plan on carpooling for this trip as most of the trip involves driving. Meet at the Marketplace Shopping Center (near Big 5 Sporting Goods, 1301 W. Covell just east of Hwy 113) at 7:30am, returning by early to mid-afternoon.
