Field Trip Leader: Ed Harper

Nestled to the west of Del Campo High School is a neighborhood delight that has been woefully neglected by birders. It can, however, provide a couple of hours of relaxing birding that can brighten your day. An eBird hotspot, it unfortunately has been visited sparingly by only a few birders. It deserves more attention. Local residents from Carmichael and Fair Oaks will find it conveniently accessible and rewarding. The park is home to many familiar birds including Red-shouldered Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, and Nuttall’s Woodpecker. It’s exciting to visit during migration when anything can show up. The park remains a reliable location for Yellow-billed Magpies. Meet Ed in the parking lot on the west side of the park accessed via of Heathcliff Drive in Carmichael.

Directions and confirmation of exact meeting location and time will be provided upon registration.
