Fox Sparrow; © Zane Pickus
Fall migration is largely over and the winter birds are settling in. Join Bart Wickel and Zane Pickus for a local jaunt around Yolo County. The challenge: to find as many species of sparrows as possible. To further the fun of this trip, participants will be able to check sparrows off of a bingo card! As believers in the rule that when you search for one bird, you discover another, expect anything on this trip– the sparrows are just the excuse to get out and about. This will also be a good trip to practice birding by ear. Route to be determined as conditions warrant.
The trip is limited to 4 cars. All participants are expected to be vaccinated. Drivers and their passengers will decide whether masks are required while in the vehicles.
Bring binoculars, scopes, cameras, snacks, lunch, and beverages. High winds or a significant rainstorm cancel this trip. The trip will begin at 7:30 am and we will return by 3:00pm.
