SUMMARY:Cosumnes River Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Sandhill Cranes; © Joanne Fillatti\n\n\n\nCranes\, geese\, swans\, ducks\, shorebirds and of course … lots of sparrows. In the morning we will leisurely bird the trails through the riparian forest near the visitor center and in the adjacent marsh. After lunch on the deck of the visitor’s center\, we will be roadside birding by marshes and fields along Desmond and Bruceville Roads watching for the Peregrine Falcon that frequents a nearby microwave tower. \n\n\n\nMeet at 7:00 a.m. in the Park-and-Ride lot off Mace Boulevard (northeast of Highway 80 and just down from Ikeda’s Market). Bring your lunch\, binoculars\, and spotting scope if you have one. Dress appropriately for the weather that day which could range from warm and sunny to cool and foggy. Let’s hope for no rain. We expect to finish by midafternoon. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, contact your leader\, Sid England at (530) 756-7882 or asenglnd@pacbell.net. \n\n\n\nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. Heavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOSUMNES RIVER PRESERVE FIELD TRIP REPORTby Sid England and Randy Beaton \n\n\n\nTo paraphrase the singer-songwriter\, Johnny Nash\, it was a bright\, bright sun-shiny day with nothing but blue sky when about 15 birders convened at the Cosumnes River Preserve for a spectacular morning of birding. We first walked the Boardwalk trail out to the observation deck and back then completed the milelong Wetlands Walk Trail before having lunch and finished up at the ponds along Desmond and Bruceville Roads. \n\n\n\nJust being out on such a wonderful day was the highlight of the trip\, but there were many notable birds. Perhaps the best was an extremely cooperative Prairie Falcon that flew right in front of us and over our heads at low elevation not once\, but twice. What a treat! Another favorite of the group was a flock of Tundra Swans that flew low very near us. And of course\, the many thousands of waterfowl especially clouds of Snow Geese were crowd pleasers\, too. \n\n\n\nFollowing is a list of species and estimated numbers seen before lunch. After lunch along Desmond and Bruceville Roads\, we added many thousands of waterfowl along with Ruddy Duck\, Red-shouldered Hawk\, and American Kestrel for a day total of 55 species.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSPECIES and COUNT \n\n\n\nSnow Goose 5\,000 \n\n\n\nGreater White-fronted Goose 1\,500 \n\n\n\nCanada Goose 30 \n\n\n\nTundra Swan 12 \n\n\n\nNorthern Shoveler 150 \n\n\n\nGadwall 8 \n\n\n\nAmerican Wigeon 80 \n\n\n\nMallard 2 \n\n\n\nNorthern Pintail 300 \n\n\n\nGreen-winged Teal 200 \n\n\n\nRing-necked Duck 24 \n\n\n\nBufflehead 12 \n\n\n\nCommon Goldeneye 4 \n\n\n\nAnna’s Hummingbird 1 \n\n\n\nAmerican Coot 120 \n\n\n\nSandhill Crane 15 \n\n\n\nBlack-necked Stilt 18 \n\n\n\nKilldeer 6 \n\n\n\nDunlin 40 \n\n\n\nLeast Sandpiper 24 \n\n\n\nLong-billed Dowitcher 20 \n\n\n\nWilson’s Snipe 1 \n\n\n\nGreater Yellowlegs 8 \n\n\n\nRing-billed Gull 4 \n\n\n\nHerring Gull 8 \n\n\n\nAmerican White Pelican 1 \n\n\n\n\n\nSPECIES and COUNT \n\n\n\nGreat Egret 1 \n\n\n\nTurkey Vulture 5 \n\n\n\nNorthern Harrier 3 \n\n\n\nRed-tailed Hawk 2 \n\n\n\nDowny Woodpecker 1 \n\n\n\nPrairie Falcon 1 \n\n\n\nBlack Phoebe 6 \n\n\n\nSay’s Phoebe 1 \n\n\n\nCalifornia Scrub-Jay 4 \n\n\n\nAmerican Crow 2 \n\n\n\nCommon Raven 2 \n\n\n\nTree Swallow 45 \n\n\n\nRuby-crowned Kinglet 6 \n\n\n\nMarsh Wren 50 \n\n\n\nEuropean Starling 5 \n\n\n\nWestern Bluebird 2 \n\n\n\nHouse Sparrow 8 \n\n\n\nWhite-crowned Sparrow 40 \n\n\n\nGolden-crowned Sparrow 30 \n\n\n\nSavannah Sparrow 2 \n\n\n\nLincoln’s Sparrow 3 \n\n\n\nWestern Meadowlark 3 \n\n\n\nRed-winged Blackbird 100 \n\n\n\nBrewer’s Blackbird 30 \n\n\n\nCommon Yellowthroat 2 \n\n\n\nYellow-rumped Warbler 30
