SUMMARY:(Late) Spring Migration at Willowbank Ditch
DESCRIPTION:Warbling Vireo; © Zane Pickus\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis walking trip focuses on the migrating songbirds passing through Davis. Willowbank Ditch in South Davis has a fantastic mix of mature trees\, dense understory\, and diverse fruiting and flowering plants. Early May is at the tail end of sparrow migration\, but still in the heart of warbler and flycatcher migration through the area. We will hope for foraging groups of warblers and flycatchers as we practice learning the songs and calls of an array of local songbirds. Some targets will include Wilson’s\, Yellow\, and MacGillivray’s Warblers\, Western Wood-Pewee\, Western Tanager\, and Lazuli Bunting. We will also practice thinking from a birds-eye view\, discussing habitat\, food sources\, and tips and tricks for predicting the best spots to find migrating songbirds. \n\n\n\nThe trip will leave from the junction of Almond Lane and Rosario Street in Davis.  There is street parking on streets by this junction\, and this intersection has a walking path that leads to the footbridge over the Willowbank Ditch.  We will meet at 7am and the trip will end around 9 or 9:30am.  Expect ~1 mile of walking\, although we will never be more than 1/2 of a mile from the meeting spot. Please bring binoculars as well as any desired snacks and water. Heavy rain will cancel the trip. \n\n\n\nFor more information contact trip leader Rob Furrow at robertfurrow@gmail.com or 610-715-9123.

SUMMARY:Putah Creek at Kusch Home
DESCRIPTION:Barn Swallow; © Zane Pickus\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTour Manfred Kusch’s birding gardens between Davis and Winters. He has cultivated his home garden and surrounding area\, which border on Putah Creek\, into a true birding extravaganza. He attracts a wide variety of birds in the gardens and habitat around the house\, especially hummingbirds and orioles. The multi-layered vegetation on either side of the creek hosts spring migrants and residents such as grosbeaks\, tanagers and a variety of warblers and vireos. \n\n\n\nBring binoculars\, scopes\, cameras\, snacks and beverages. High winds or a significant rainstorm cancel this trip. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited; RSVP early. Contact John Hansen to secure your spot (jjhindavis@yahoo.com)

SUMMARY:South Fork Preserve - Putah Creek
DESCRIPTION:Hermit x Townsend’s Warbler; © Konshau Duman\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us for a morning of late spring migrants and riparian breeders next Saturday\, May 20th\, at the Putah Creek South Fork Preserve parking lot. We will walk the trail west of Mace into Solano County before returning to the Yolo side to walk the South Fork Preserve trails. This area has great valley riparian habitat with a dense mixed canopy of Valley Oak and Oregon Ash with scattered Cottonwood and Willow. The Yolo side will have similar habitat in a narrower strip along with open weedy grassland with Valley Oak and Mulefat plantings.  \n\n\n\nWe can expect to see some later spring migrants like Yellow Warbler\, Swainson’s Thrush\, and Western Wood-Pewee plus riparian breeders like Tree Swallow\, Bewick’s Wren\, House Wren\, California Towhee\, and Spotted Towhee. The number of breeding Spotted Towhees on the Solano side is quite stunning compared to other riparian sites in our area\, and there are abundant cavity nesters on the Yolo Side due to a wealth of natural and artificial cavity nest sites. Swainson’s Hawks will likely be very abundant as well.  \n\n\n\nWe will cover about 1.9 miles of trail\, ~.35 miles (one way) on the Solano side and a ~1.2 mile loop on the Yolo Side. The Yolo side trails are well established dirt trails\, and the Solano side trail is a narrower dirt path with occasional stick and log debris brought in by last winter’s flooding to step around.  \n\n\n\nThis trip will be led by Konshau and Lynette Williams Duman (konshaud@gmail.com\, lynettebarbarawilliams@gmail.com). Feel free to email us with any additional questions regarding the trip or transportation from Davis to the South Fork Preserve.  \n\n\n\nYolo 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.
