SUMMARY:Beginners' Bird Walk – Sunday\, September 15\, 2024 - 9:00 - 12:00 Noon
DESCRIPTION:Are you dipping a toe into birding\, or dusting off a pair of binoculars for the first time in a while? If you want company as you learn about birding\, we’d be delighted to have you join us for our first Beginners Bird Walk of the Fall Season. \nJoin us Sunday\, September 15\, 2024 at the American Canyon Wetlands Edge Park for a fun morning of birding. We will meet in the Parking Lot at 9:00 am.  This park hosts fresh and salt water habitats\, grasslands\, and Eucalyptus groves.  It is a prime area for migrating Shorebirds and Waterfowl.  Green-winged Teal\, Pintails\, Shovelers\, and Gadwalls are frequent ducks that feed in the shallow waters. American Avocets\, Marbled Godwits\, Willets\, Long-billed Curlews\, Dowitchers\, and Least and Western Sandpipers feed on the mudflats. Riparian birds including Western Bluebirds\, House Wrens\, Common Yellow-throats\, frequent the grasslands\, marsh and forest edges\, while Red-shouldered and Red-tailed Hawks soar above. It is not uncommon to see a White-tailed Kite or an Osprey flying by with a fish in its talons. On any given day we hope to see anywhere from 50-80 species during the Fall\, Winter\, and Spring seasons. \nLeaders: Tom Slyker\, Carol Boykin\, and Karina Garcia will be leading this walk. They are citizen science volunteers who participate in the Napa Solano Audubon’s CA Bird Seasons Project at this wetlands location. NSAS has been monitoring birds at this site every Monday morning since 2016. \nWhat to bring:  Warm clothing in layers as it can get windy and cold at this location.  We will be walking ~ 2 miles over paved trails so comfortable walking shoes will be needed.  Bring binoculars if you have them.  If not\, we will have extra binoculars for you to use.  Tom and Carol will have spotting scopes for better views of some of the more distant birds.  Water and snacks are items you should plan to carry with you. \nTo Register and Questions Contact Coordinator Karina Garcia at kg92794@hotmail.com \n
