Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leaders: Amy MacDonald and Nancy Gronert

Join Amy and Nancy for a morning of birding the beautiful American Canyon Wetlands as we take an easy walk along the slough trails toward the Napa River mouth. Expect large numbers of shorebirds, as well as waders, waterfowl, gulls, terns, and land birds. Raptors include the possibility of Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, and Bald Eagle. As shorebirds and water birds are a focus of this trip, a spotting scope will be very helpful. Your leader will also carry a scope that you are welcome to use. A large port-a-potty available at parking lot.

Meeting Location: Meet at the Wetlands Edge Park parking area.
