SUMMARY:Birding Western Yolo County
DESCRIPTION:Location: Beginning in Winters\nTrip Leader(s): John Klobas & Sarah Brooks\nStart Date: Saturday\, January 25\, 2020\nStart Time: 8:00 AM\nEnd Time: 3:00 PM\nDescription: Located within a one and one-half hour drive of many North Bay locations\, Yolo County offers diverse habitats ranging from Coast Range mountains to near sea level agricultural lands of the Sacramento Valley. This one-day trip will visit prime birding sites in western Yolo County during the height of winter bird diversity and numbers. We will meet in Winters where we will introduce our itinerary for the day and our target birds for the morning at Lake Solano Park. This park straddles both Yolo and Solano counties along Putah Creek at the base of the Coast Range. We will bird both outside and inside the park ($6/car day use fee) and\, weather permitting\, have lunch there\, as well. Specialties here include Hooded Merganser\, Barrow’s Goldeneye\, Phainopepla\, Wood Duck\, various raptors\, perhaps even Pileated and Lewis’s Woodpecker. After lunch we will walk along Putah Creek watching for both water and land birds. The day will conclude with a stop at a raptor hot spot near Woodland where overwintering specialties may include Ferruginous Hawk among several raptor species. The companion trip to this day features eastern Yolo County and is scheduled for Saturday\, February 22\, 2020. This trip begins in Davis. Directions: We will meet at Rotary Park located at Main and Railroad Streets in Winters. From Marin take Highway 101 North to Highway 37. Then exit onto Highway I-80 East. In approximately 22 miles\, take Exit 56 at Vacaville to merge onto I-505 North toward Redding. Take the Highway 128 exit (west toward Lake Berryessa) from Highway I-505. Take a left over the freeway\, then stay on Highway 128 until the light at Railroad Avenue. Turn left (south)\, travel 2 blocks to the intersection of Railroad and Main. Rotary Park is at the south side of this intersection. We will meet at the gazebo in the park.

Joseph is a student at Terra Linda High School and an active member of the Bay Area Chapter of the California Young Birders Club. He is skilled at both identifying and photographing birds.

Join us for a Sea Watch at 7:30 AM or arrive later at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. Directions: Head south on Hwy 101 and take the last Sausalito exit just before the Golden Gate Bridge. At the exit stop sign\, turn right and go under the freeway\, then follow the road down to the left. Within 300 feet turn left at the sign to the Marin Headlands (This is the only available left turn before you begin the descent into Sausalito). You should see the tunnel with the five-minute light. Proceed through the tunnel on Bunker Road to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end and meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach.

SUMMARY:Beaches of Northwest Marin
DESCRIPTION:Location: Point Reyes National Seashore\nTrip Leader(s): Derek Lecy & Bob Atwood\nStart Date: Saturday\, February 8\, 2020\nStart Time: 9:00 AM\nEnd Time: 12:00 PM\nDescription: Start the day with Derek and Bob at Kehoe Beach followed by a midday caravan to McClures Beach. The coastal California subspecies of White-crowned Sparrow (Z. I. nuttalli) start to sing more vigorously in January\, so we should be able to hear them well as we walk through the coastal scrub habitat to these beaches. Other species on our way to the beaches include Wrentit\, Peregrine Falcon\, and other raptors such as Northern Harrier\, Red-tailed Hawk\, and with luck\, a Bald Eagle. On the beaches\, a search of the gull flocks should be fun\, and a good variety of wintering gulls is expected. We will take a long look out at sea as well in an attempt to try and find all three species of scoter–Black Scoter\, White-winged Scoter\, and Surf Scoter. Both beaches can be one of the more reliable places in the county to encounter Black Scoter. We will keep our eyes open for a Harlequin Duck or any alcids flying out on the ocean as well. Participants should wear sturdy\, waterproof shoes and warm clothing. Light rain or fog is a strong possibility. Expect to walk a quarter mile to each beach with a total of 2 miles of hiking on this trip. Bring lunch as we will break between locations for a quick lunch. High tide looks to be around 11 AM\, which may impact our beach access at McClures (which we visit second)\, but we can always scope from above the beach or figure something out. Bring a scope if you have one. Heavy rain cancels. Directions: We will meet at the Kehoe Beach Parking area. From San Anselmo\, take Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Olema. From Olema\, continue north on Hwy 1 (SFDB)\, take the second left turn (SFDB west)\, continue through Inverness\, turn right (north) onto Pierce Point Road\, and drive approximately 4.6 miles to Kehoe Beach.
