SUMMARY:Sparrow Bingo
DESCRIPTION:Fox Sparrow; © Zane Pickus\n\n\n\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 on Saturday\, October 22\, from 8 AM until around 3 PM. 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!  \n\n\n\nAs 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. The route will be determined as conditions warrant. There will be short walks\, some on moderately uneven terrain. \n\n\n\nThe trip is limited to 20 people in 5 cars. All participants are expected to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Drivers and passengers will decide whether masks are required while in the vehicles.  \n\n\n\nBring binoculars\, scopes\, cameras\, snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. High winds or a significant rainstorm cancel this trip.  \n\n\n\nContact John Hansen at jjhindavis@yahoo.com for more details and to reserve a spot .

SUMMARY:Lake Solano County Park & Putah Creek
DESCRIPTION:Lewis’s Woodpecker at Lake Solano; © Ann Brice\n\n\n\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 spend the winter in the area.  The oak woodland\, riparian habitat and creek can result in bird sightings that include Osprey\, Phainopepla and Wood Duck. There could be some surprises like Lewis’s Woodpecker\, Red-breasted Sapsucker and Bald Eagle.  \n\n\n\nParticipants will meet at Lake Solano County Park when the park opens at 8:00 am. Park in the day use area near the boat dock.  A $8.00/car fee will be needed for parking in the day use lot.  \n\n\n\nAll levels of birders are welcome.  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.  Rain and strong wind cancels trip.
