SUMMARY:City of Davis' South Fork Preserve
DESCRIPTION:South Fork Preserve; © Marc Hoshovsky\n\n\n\nEvent postponed to April 1 due to poor weather predicted on original date – March 15.  \n\n\n\nPlease join Marc Hoshovsky\, a local volunteer naturalist\, for a guided interpretive walk at the  City of Davis’ South Fork Preserve. \n\n\n\nThe Preserve is located along the South Fork of Putah Creek\, a few miles southeast of Davis. Almost 200 acres in size\, it is one of the best stands of riparian and floodplain forest along Putah Creek\, with some old trees over 5 feet in diameter! The Preserve’s 30-year-old restored oak woodland nicely demonstrates how fast woodlands can recover\, given a nearby creek and some loving care. This nice diversity attracts a lot of birds and other wildlife\, so visitors will be sure to enjoy themselves. \n\n\n\nMarc will explain how the South Fork became the new course of Putah Creek in historical times and how the Creek has been restored since then; help visitors learn about the creek’s aquatic and upland ecosystem; describe the City’s continued investments in the Preserve; and highlight the ongoing conservation challenges of Putah Creek. \n\n\n\nThe walk will be a relatively slow paced one-mile loop walk (all flat)\, allowing plenty of birding opportunities. The first few hundred feet is on a wheelchair accessible gravel path to a new observation deck over the creek. The walk then continues through the riparian forest on a single-track dirt path\, returning on an old farm road along the restored oak woodland to the parking lot. \n\n\n\nThis hike is appropriate for all ages. Please prepare for the weather and variable conditions by bringing water and snacks\, and wearing sturdy shoes. The tour may be rescheduled in the event of heavy rain. A camera and binoculars are recommended. \n\n\n\nWe will meet in the Preserve parking lot 2.3 miles south of Interstate 80 along Mace Boulevard.   \n\n\n\nContact Ryan Janke rhjanke29@gmail.com for additional information. No signup required.

SUMMARY:Bobcat Ranch Tour
DESCRIPTION:House Finch; © Kelli O’Neill\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin Yolo Audubon Society for birds and wildflower tour of Bobcat Ranch. This sprawling blue oak woodland property sits in the hills of the coastal range just north of Berryessa Gap. The hills are green\, flowers are blooming\, and we should have some early spring migrants showing up. Bobcat Ranch is great for spotting woodpeckers\, raptors\, and the occasional resident bald eagle as well as lupine\, blue dicks\, and a variety of other wildflowers. We will climb to a natural spring where warblers and small passerines are often abundant.  \n\n\n\nThis trip will involve moderate-strenuous hiking with portions of sustained uphill on uneven\, unpaved surfaces. We will hike a loop approximately 2 miles long and gain about 300-400 feet in elevation. Bring binoculars\, plenty of water\, snacks\, hiking poles if needed\, and sturdy hiking shoes. Dress in layers as it can be cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Trails may be muddy depending on the weather. Heavy rains or high winds cancels the trip. \n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at 7:30 a.m. and likely return to Davis by noon. Location and further details will be provided to those who have reserved a spot on the trip. \n\n\n\nTrip leaders are Ryan Janke and Sonjia Shelly. \n\n\n\nThis trip has limited space. Please reserve a spot by emailing Ryan Janke (rhjanke29@gmail.com).

SUMMARY:Capay Open Space Park - Lesser Nighthawks
DESCRIPTION:Lesser Nighthawk; © Zane Pickus\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNighthawks are a family of cryptically colored\, primarily nocturnal bird species that are a favorite of many birders. Cache Creek is the summer home of the Lesser Nighthawk\, which winters in Central and South America before returning to California’s Central Valley to breed. Lesser Nighthawks primarily feed on insects under the cover of darkness\, but in the spring they routinely engage in dusk courtship rituals. Capay Open Space Park is the perfect place to observe nighthawks as they chase each other in acrobatic flights and sing their eerie trilled songs. \n\n\n\nYou can learn more about Lesser Nighthawks and listen to their song here: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Lesser_Nighthawk/overview.  Join Zane Pickus and Frank Fabbro in a dusk birding trip to Capay Open Space Park. While this trip will be focused on the nighthawks\, there should be plenty of other birds to see. California Thrashers\, though inconspicuous\, nest here. Western Meadowlarks\, California Quail\, and a variety of swallows will be abundant. Given the date\, we could encounter a neotropical migrant or two! \n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at 6:00pm at the Marketplace Shopping Center (near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, 1301 W.Covell\, just east of Hwy 113). We will plan to bird until dark\, and should return to Davis between 8:30pm and 9:00pm. Bring binoculars\, cameras\, snacks\, and water. The trip will include a short walk along the gravel creekbed. High winds or a significant rainstorm will cancel the trip. Yolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Carpooling is strongly encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. \n\n\n\nTrip leaders: Frank Fabbro and Zane Pickus. \n\n\n\nContact Zane for more information – zanep987@gmail.com
