SUMMARY:Cosumnes Reserve
DESCRIPTION:This is a great time of year at Cosumnes. We will see an abundance of cranes\, geese\, ducks\, and shorebirds. It’s one of the few local places where Ring-necked Ducks are reliable. In the morning\, we will spend time along the sloughs and riparian corridors of the Mokelumne River where we can see the many wintering songbirds and other inhabitants of the area. We will also explore the wetlands near the visitor’s center. After lunch on the deck at the visitor’s center\, we will discover what can be seen in the marshes and flooded farm fields along Desmond and Bruceville Roads\, keeping an eye out for wintering raptors and the occasional Peregrine Falcon. If weather allows and it can be arranged\, we will then travel into more inaccessible parts of the Preserve where The Nature Conservancy has implemented a large floodplain restoration project. There you’ll see the evolution of the floodplain with more riparian and open habitat birds. \nMeet at 7:00 a.m. for carpooling in the Park-N-Ride lot on the south side of Highway 80 in West Sacramento on Enterprise Blvd (https://goo.gl/maps/a9qpUqUjqe3vr9tb7)\, just across the Causeway.  Bring your lunch\, binoculars and spotting scope if you have one.  Dress appropriately for the weather that day which could range from warm and sunny to cool and foggy. We expect to finish by mid-afternoon. \nIf you have any questions\, contact your leader\, Rodd Kelsey at (916) 662-4085 or roddk@outlook.com. \nPlease help us welcome Rodd Kelsey as a new trip leader. Rodd is a professional biologist\, and works for The Nature Conservancy. He did his graduate work at UC-Davis\, working in ornithology and bird ecology. Thanks for volunteering\, Rodd! \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders.  \nHeavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip

SUMMARY:Addressing the Challenges of Climate Change in the Central Valley
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a serious threat to California birds. A recent report from the National Audubon Society\, Survival by Degrees: 389 Bird Species on the Brink\, found that two-thirds of America’s birds are threatened with extinction from climate change. Under the most extreme projections\, California could face temperature increases of more than six degrees Fahrenheit in winter and up to nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit in summer. The resulting changes in vegetation and habitat will mean that nearly half of California’s birds could lose a substantial part of their ranges as the climate warms. Some\, including the Yellow-billed Magpie\, are found nowhere else and could lose nearly all their range\, ultimately even facing extinction. \nSamantha Arthur\, Working Lands Program Director at Audubon California\, will discuss how Audubon is addressing the challenge of climate change in the Central Valley by protecting the habitats that birds will need now and into the future and partnering with agriculture to sequester carbon. By advocating for adequate water supplies for wetlands in the implementation of new groundwater management in the Central Valley\, Audubon is building climate resiliency and habitat refugia in a climate stressed region. Audubon is also working with partners to demonstrate how farm practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon\, while providing wildlife habitat. \nSpeaker Biography \nSamantha Arthur is Working Lands Program Director for Audubon California\, leading Audubon’s work with farmers and wetland managers in the Central Valley to increase the scope and scale of bird-friendly management practices and restoration. She also oversees Audubon California’s campaign to recover the Tricolored Blackbird\, a colonial passerine that is nearly endemic to California. Samantha has been with Audubon since 2014. She has a Masters of Environmental Science and Management from the Bren School at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and an undergraduate degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from Whitman College. Prior to Audubon\, Samantha worked with the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts to support private lands stewardship across the state. She was also previously a Land Protection Specialist for the Big Sur Land Trust where she worked with landowners in Monterey County on conservation easements and land management. \nThe program starts at 7:30 p.m.\, but everyone is invited for refreshments and conversation at 7:00. We meet at the Davis Senior Center\, 646 A Street in Davis.

SUMMARY:Napa River at American Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Adjacent to the Napa River is a restored shoreline walking trail\, where tidal fluctuations can be observed. All along the walkway we’ll be enjoying the open vistas looking west toward the wetlands and over the river. We will first walk along a large tidal lagoon looking for resting birds. After a short level walk out to the Napa River\, the rising tide will bring foraging shorebirds closer to us. \nThis time of year\, migration of north-bound shorebirds is beginning; routinely seen are sandpipers\, godwits\, and willets along with ducks\, herons and egrets. We will also be on the lookout for surprises. \nPlan to meet at 8:00 am at Marketplace Shopping Center\, near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, at W. Covell & Highway 113 in Davis. Bring binoculars\, scopes and snacks/lunch\, beverages.  After returning to cars\, the group will have a lunch in the picnic area before returning to Davis. \nContact co-leaders: \nSami LaRocca [530-908-0288; sami182@wavecable.com]\nJohn Mott-Smith [530-400-7622; johnmottsmith@comcast.net]\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 all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders.  \nHeavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip.
