Yolo Audubon: Lake Solano Field Trip Oct. 29

On this trip the Yolo Audubon Society will visit Lake Solano County Park where Putah Creek runs between Yolo and Solano Counties. They 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 even bald eagle.

Participants will meet at Lake Solano County Park when the park opens at 8a. Park in the day use area near the boat dock. A $8 per car fee will be needed for parking in the day use lot.

All levels of birders are welcome. The trip will conclude in the 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 cancel the trip. No reservations necessary.
