Field Trip to Flannery & Robinson Roads
Saturday,
DEC
8, 2012
7:30 AM NAPA - SOLANO AUDUBON SOCIETY — Eastern Solano County Late fall is a great time to bird the rolling hills and pastures of eastern Solano County. Wintering raptors have arrived in full, including Rough-legged Hawk, Golden Eagle and Prairie Falcon. This year, central California is experiencing an ‘irruption’ of Ferriginous Hawk, and we will see several. We’ll also search hard for Mountain Plover and Burrowing Owl. Lots of birders visit the area so we should have plenty of advance information about these elusive species and be up to date on the presence of any rarities. Specialty songbirds include Loggerhead Shrike, Horned Lark, and Lark Sparrow. Expect large flocks of Long-billed Curlew. The trip is roadside birding, our route follows Creed, Robinson, Flannery and adjacent roads. We will finish up at Jepson Prairie. Carpooling is important, to ensure that everyone sees every bird. Beginning a little after 8:30 birders will slowly head east from the corner of Creed and Branscombe Rds; however, to limit the number of cars, please try to meet at a carpool location. A reminder from the Field Trip Coordinator: Car-poolers will share driving expenses (recommended $.30/mi to be split by the number of riders). Leader: Murray Berner DIRECTIONS: Carpool locations and times: Napa - 07:30 Sweeney's Sport Store, 1537 Imola Ave West, Napa Cordelia - 08:00 Solano Education Building, 5100 Business Center Drive, Fairfield |
