Join us for a morning of exploring flooded agricultural fields in one of the central valley's most diverse birding hotspots. We will be birding the auto tour by car, where we will be greeted by thousands of ducks, geese, and shorebirds. We have a chance of seeing all three teal species, including Blue-winged Teal, and many other wetland birds such as Gadwall, Ring-necked Duck, American Wigeon, Canvasback, Northern Shoveler, Sora, Virginia Rail, Dunlin, Long-billed Dowitcher, Wilson's Snipe, Least Sandpiper, Tundra Swan, Snow Goose, Ross's Goose. In the willow riparian corridors, Hooded Merganser, winter passerines, and roosting Great Horned Owls are possibilities. There is always the chance to see something rarer at the Yolo Bypass, and in some winters Eurasian Wigeon and Least Bittern have been found. We will be traveling by car. There will be restrooms.
