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. There is 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.

The old east span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the eastern portion of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge have hosted the two largest colonies of this species in the region. However\, now these colonies are declining\, and structures they once used to nest on are either being dismantled or blocked off for maintenance activities. So it begs the question: where will the cormorants nest in the future? Will they move to new areas of the bridges\, adopt the artificial platforms we designed for them on the new bay bridge\, on leave the central bay altogether? Come learn what our research for the past three decades tell us about the population dynamics of this resilient species and learn about our efforts to study the Bay Area population of this adaptable\, yet maligned\, bird. \nMark Rauzon was with the US Fish and Wildlife Service\, where he studied sea birds and endangered marine mammals in Hawai’i\, Alaska\, and California.  He is also an expert in the effects of invasive animals and plants on tropical islands. His latest book Isles of Amnesia details his experiences.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/0824846796/ref=pe_825000_114660910_TE_item\nMr. Rauzon is also a research associate with Point Blue and a Geography professor at Laney College in Oakland. \nMeredith Elliott is a Senior Scientist at Point Blue Conservation Science and has worked on a variety of seabird monitoring and diet projects\, as well as researching zooplankton communities in Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries. \nThe Yolo Audubon meeting will be held at the Davis Senior Center\, 646 A Street in Davis\, from 7:30 to 9 pm on November 15th.

This trip is appropriate for children 5 yrs. and older. The Woodland East Regional Pond\, also known by local birders as the Farmers Central Pond\, is a storm water catchment\, landscaped with native plantings that attracts both resident and migrant birds. Easy-walking pathways and viewing platforms will this enhance this outing. When water is available\, the pond hosts Canada Geese\, Great & Snowy Egrets and other water birds. In the trees\, shrubs and grasses\, we can expect to see Yellow-rumped Warblers\, White-crowned Sparrows and other small birds. Meet at 8:15 AM at the Woodland East Regional Pond parking lot at the “T” intersection of Yolo County Road 102 and Farmers Central Road in Woodland. Trip will conclude by noon.  Yolo Audubon Co-Leaders Ken Ealy & Carlos Castaneda will have binoculars to loan\, but if you have binoculars\, bring them. Strong wind cancels trip. If you have questions\, you may contact Ken (530) 219-1217.
