Do you enjoy mountain birding? Then this trip is for you. We will explore the birdlife of the Sierras on this two day, (June 3-4) overnight trip.
We will be looking for mountain specialties such as Williamson’s Sapsucker, Black-backed Woodpecker, White-headed Woodpecker, Red-breasted Sapsucker, Townsend’s Solitaire, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Mountain Bluebird and Calliope Hummingbird.
We will also enjoy the wonders of the marsh in Sierra Valley, with a cacophony of sound led by the amazingly beautiful Yellow-headed Blackbirds. We will also hope to see and hear displaying Willets, Wilson’s Snipes and American Bitterns.
Please bring plenty of warm clothes and dress in layers. Bring enough food for breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. We will have a group dinner on Saturday evening in Portola and we will be spending the night at the Sierra Motel (530-832-4223).
