Registration is NOT required for this field trip.

Field Trip Leader: Drake Stallworth  

The flooded fields of Cosumnes River Preserve attract a wide range of waterfowl. A variety of dabblers and divers, Greater White-fronted Geese, Sandhill Cranes, dowitchers, Wilson’s Snipe, and yellowlegs may be seen. We will walk along the flooded wetlands, down to the boardwalk and out, and circle back on the loop trail. Scopes will be helpful if you have them. Heavy rain cancels.

Meet Drake in the visitor parking lot at Cosumnes River Preserve. Take I-5 south from Sacramento, exit on Twin Cities Road Exit #498. Turn left onto Twin Cities Road and go east, crossing Franklin Blvd across the train tracks. Turn right at the next stop sign onto Bruceville Road. Take Bruceville Road south to Desmond Road. Follow Desmond Road back to Franklin Road and turn left. Follow Franklin down to the main visitor parking lot on the left side of the road. (Please note: These directions are different from the usual ones due to ongoing road construction. Please check the Cosumnes River Preserve website prior to the trip for any other changes due to road construction.)
