SUMMARY:Lake Solano County Park/Putah Creek
DESCRIPTION: Yellow-rumped Warbler ©Sharon Kirkpatrick \nOn this trip we will visit Lake Solano County Park where Putah Creek runs between Yolo and Solano Counties.  We will be looking for resident species as well as those that come to spend the winter in the area.  The oak woodland\, riparian habitat and creek can result in bird sightings that include Osprey\, Phainopepla\, Wood Duck and hopefully several species of woodpeckers. There could be some surprises like Pileated Woodpecker\, Red-breasted Sapsucker and Bald Eagle. \nMeet at 8:00 AM at Lake Solano County Park day-use parking lot\, on Pleasants Valley Road.  There is a $6 fee per vehicle for parking.  All trip participants should be vaccinated.  Federal\, state\, and local health guidelines will be followed.  Trip will conclude early afternoon.  Bring water\, binoculars and spotting scopes if you have one.  We will not be stopping for a designated lunch break.  There is some walking on uneven terrain but for the most part it is flat.  Beginning birders are welcome.  Rain and strong wind cancels trip. \nTrip Leader: Sharon Kirkpatrick (530)220-3735 (cell) or sckirkpa@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Sparrow Bingo
DESCRIPTION:Song Sparrow ©Zane Pickus \nFall 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\, but often includes a variety of habitats including Putah Creek Canyon and select locations around Winters and Esparto. \nWe’ll meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Marketplace Shopping Center (near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, 1301 W. Covell\, just east of Hwy 113). Bring binoculars\, scopes\, cameras\, snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. High winds or a significant rainstorm cancel this trip. We will return by 3:00pm. \nThis trip will be limited to 15 participants. Contact Zane Pickus for more details or to sign-up at: \nzanep987@gmail.com \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Some trips may be limited by number of participants\, if stated in the description. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. Heavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip

SUMMARY:Sacramento and Colusa Wildlife Refuges
DESCRIPTION:Sacramento Wildlife Refuge ©Genevieve Colborn \nTrip Leaders: Genevieve Colborn and Kelli O’Neill \nDescription:\nThis post-Thanksgiving trip will feature iconic Central Valley wintering birds at two national wildlife refuges. Depending on water conditions\, late November at the Sacramento and Colusa National Wildlife Refuges can be a phenomenal birding location. These refuges host hundreds of thousands of wintering geese and ducks\, as well as many other birds. We will have good chances of seeing bald eagles and other raptors. We will bird the auto loops at both refuges\, stopping at the observation tower in Sacramento NWR and the observation deck at Colusa NWR. Depending on the weather\, we may take a short trail walk. \nAll participants are expected to be vaccinated. Masks may be required in vehicles depending on preferences of drivers and passengers. Current health guidelines will be followed. Please bring a lunch and water and dress in layers. Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation. Driving time from Davis is approximately one hour each way. \nAccessibility:\nMost birding will be done by car\, with a couple of short walks on flat\, mostly even terrain. \nMeeting Location and Registration:\nPlease contact Genevieve Colborn at tlcgdc@gmail.com\, or 916-764-5796\, to register and for details regarding where to meet. This trip will be limited to 12 participants in a maximum of 4 cars. A one-day pass ($6) or National Parks pass is required for each vehicle. It can be purchased beforehand online or at the kiosk to the refuge on the day of the trip.
