SUMMARY:FOUR LAKES AND A LEK
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER \n2018 Field Trip to Susanville and Environs \nField Trip Organizer – Carl Schwedler\n530-210-3104\nmarcialberry@icloud.com \n  \nA three-day trip to the Susanville area to observe a Greater Sage-Grouse lek\, with visits to four nearby mountain/high-desert lakes. \nFriday afternoon (1:00 pm) begins with a meet-up at Donner Lake (Lake #1) along the way to Susanville\, followed by an attempt at a Juniper Titmouse on Red Rock Road. \nSaturday morning we go out to the Belfast Petroglyphs\, then bird the Amedee wetlands and Honey Lake (Lake #2) on the way back to the hotel for a civilized brunch. In the afternoon we bird up Jack’s Valley through the Willow Creek Wildlife Area and then all the way counter-clockwise around Eagle Lake (Lake # 3) to the opposite bottom\, at Christie Day Use Area and Gallatin Beach. Then clockwise back home for dinner. \nThen it’s up before dawn Sunday morning to grab some coffee and be on the road by 4:15 AM (yes\, seriously\, THAT early) for the Shaffer Sage-Grouse Lek east of Susanville (the “Lek”). Bring your scope/big camera. The site is about a mile from the main road\, so we would need to consolidate into four-wheel drive or high clearance vehicles. We will have to walk if it is in any way wet or rainy. After brunch back at Susanville\, we then cross the mountains and bird lake shores and meadows of Lake Almanor (Lake #4)\, birding down its west side and finally heading home from Canyondam via Oroville and Road 70. \nExpected birds include herons and egrets\, wading birds\, Sandhill Crane\, gulls (possibly some terns)\, eagles\, hawks and falcons\, sundry geese\, grebes and ducks\, a variety of woodpeckers (including White-headed and Williamson’s Sapsucker). Best of all are the mountain specialties\, e.g.\, Mountain Bluebird\, Stellar and Pinyon Jays\, Townsend’s Solitaire\, Cassin’s Finch\, Crossbills. And at the lek site we’ll be hoping for the sage trifecta\, i.e.\, Sage Thrasher\, Sagebrush Sparrow and of course the Greater Sage-Grouse. \nAccommodations:\nOnce confirmed for the trip\, individual arrangements for lodging should be made in advance at the Best Western Plus Trailside Inn\, 2785 Main Street\, Susanville\, CA (530) 257-4123. The hotel has given our group a discounted room rate\, so be sure to mention you are with the Yolo Audubon Society when you call to make your reservation. \nSpace is limited. Please contact the trip leader if interested.

SUMMARY:Mitchell Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday April 21 for a walk in Mitchell Canyon at Mount Diablo\, one of the premier sites for spring migrant birding in the East Bay. The canyon bottom contains riparian habitat bordered by dramatic chaparral-covered slopes. A nice collection of warblers\, tanagers\, grosbeaks\, vireos\, and flycatchers are expected at this time of year\, and there’s a good chance we will see Calliope Hummingbirds. A variety of wildflowers should also be present. We will meet at 8:00 AM at the Mitchell Canyon Visitor Center ($6.00 entrance fee). Please wear sturdy shoes for the unpaved trail and bring binoculars\, water\, and a lunch. We will stay along the relatively flat trail that follows the creek\, but there is some elevation change. The trip will last until around noon\, though some of us may stay out longer depending on the bird activity. The trip leader is Michael Strom (408)505-0328 or masam321@yahoo.com). \nSome of us will meet to ride-share to Mt. Diablo. We will meet at 6:45 at Big 5 in Davis. As always\, Yolo Audubon does not arrange carpools\, and all rides are private agreements between the driver and riders.

SUMMARY:Bobelaine Sanctuary CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:THIS TRIP IS CANCELED DUE TO POOR TRAIL CONDITIONS. It may be rescheduled; look for updates later. \nWe will be visiting the 430 acre National Audubon Sanctuary on the Feather River with over 6 miles of  dirt trails\, managed by Sacramento Audubon.  We will be looking for the last of the overwintering passerines plus nesting season should be in full swing.   We will be looking for local breeders as well as opportunistic raptors.  The Feather River\, riparian forest and surrounding fields could lead to some different sightings than are usually found in Yolo County.  Anticipate a fair amount of flat land walking\, though not all 6 miles!\nMeet at 7:30am at the parking lot at Big 5 in the Market Place shopping center to carpool to the sanctuary.  All levels of birders are welcome.  There will not be a designated lunch break\, but bring snacks or lunch and plenty of water.  Bring binoculars.   The trip will likely end in mid- to late afternoon.  Be prepared for hot weather.  Rain and high winds cancel this trip.  Trip leaders are Sharon Kirkpatrick 530-220-3735\, sleclark@ucdavis.edu  and Joe Clemens\, jclemens211@yahoo.com.
