SUMMARY:Four Lakes and a Lek
DESCRIPTION:2019 Field Trip to Susanville and Environs \nFriday through Sunday\, March 29-31\, 2019 or \nRain check – Friday through Sunday\, April 5-7\, 2019  \nField Trip Organizer – Carl Schwedler \n530-210-3104 \nmarcialberry@icloud.com \n This trip has a limited number of participants. Please contact the trip leader if interested. \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 begins with a meet-up at Donner Lake (Lake #1) along the way to Susanville\, followed by a Juniper Titmouse drive-by on Red Rock Road north of Reno. \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\, eagles\, hawks and falcons\, geese\, grebes and ducks\, and woodpeckers (including White-headed and Williamson’s Sapsucker). 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\, but elsewhere on the lookout for mountain specialties\, e.g.\, Golden Eagle\, Mountain Bluebird\, Stellar and Pinyon Jays\, Townsend’s Solitaire\, Cassin’s Finch\, Crossbills\, etc.. \nAccommodations: \nIndividual arrangements for lodging should be made in advance at either the SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western\, 2785 Main Street\, Susanville\, CA (530-257-4123)\, (breakfast voucher to the Lumberjack restaurant included)\, or the Super 8 (530-257-2782) (continental breakfast in hotel). \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Some trips may be limited by number of participants. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but not arranged by the club\, and all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders.  \nHeavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip. \n

DESCRIPTION:  \n We will visit the Sacramento NWR north of Colusa and then the Colusa NWR. Both have driving tours so we will spend most of the time in cars. SNWR has a short walking tour on level ground as well as a very nice visitor center with restrooms. Colusa has a large\, accessible observation deck. These two refuges host thousands of wintering waterfowl\, as well as resident and migrant songbirds\, owls and raptors. Easy viewing for birders. Never disappointing! The rare Falcated Duck has been seen at Colusa in the past. Bring lunch\, snacks\, water\, layers of clothing\, binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. Rain cancels trip. Meet to carpool at 7:30 a.m. at the parking lot at Big 5 in the Marketplace Shopping Center in Davis\, 1301 W. Covell Blvd. Please plan to contribute to $6 per-car fee at the Sacramento refuge.

SUMMARY:Yolo County Sparrows Field Trip (can't think of a better name!)
DESCRIPTION:Fall migration is largely over and the winter birds are settling in. Join Steve Hampton and Michael Perrone for a local jaunt around Yolo County. The challenge: to find as many species of sparrows as possible. 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. Meet at the parking lot at Big 5 in the Marketplace Shopping Center in Davis\, 1301 W. Covell Blvd  at 7:30am. We will return by 3:00pm.

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.
