If you check out the American Canyon Wetlands eBird hot spot athttps://ebird.org/hotspot/L590817 you’ll see the lists of birds that have been recently seen at this location. \n\nMeeting time and location:  We will meet at 9 AM on Sunday\, October 13\, 2024\, at the parking lot for the Wetlands Edge Park\, which is located at 2 Eucalyptus Drive in American Canyon.  We expect that the walk will take between 2 – 3 hours and we should be finished by noon. \n\nDirections: From Vallejo\, take Hwy 29 north towards Napa.  Turn left off of Hwy 29 onto Rio Del Mar.  There is a stop light at this location.  Immediately after turning onto Rio Del Mar\, turn right onto Eucalyptus Drive.  Continue west on Eucalyptus until you reach the parking lot.  From Napa\, drive south on Highway 29 till you reach Rio Del Mar.  Turn right onto Rio Del Mar and immediately turn right onto Eucalyptus Drive.  Continue west on Eucalyptus until you reach the parking lot.  From eastern Solano County take Hwy 80 to American Canyon Road.  Go west on American Canyon Road until it ends at Wetlands Edge Road.  Turn right on Wetlands Road and go north until you hit Eucalyptus Road.  Turn left on Eucalyptus Road and you will be at the Wetlands Edge Park parking lot.\n \nLeaders:  Tom Slyker\, Karina Garcia\, and Carol Boykin will be leading this walk.  Both Carol and Tom are citizen science volunteers who participate in the Napa Solano Audubon’s CA Birdseasons project at the wetlands location.  NSAS has been monitoring birds at this site every Monday morning since 2016.  This monitoring has provided the participants with a wealth of knowledge about the birds you might see at this location. \n \nWhat to bring:  Hats\, sunscreen\, and layers are a good idea as this location can be both sunny and windy.  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.  We will also have spotting scopes on hand for better views of some of the more distant birds.  Water and snacks are items you should plan to carry with you. \n \nHealth & Safety: NSAS requests that all participants be vaccinated for Covid-19\, with updated boosters.  All participants will sign a Field Trip Waiver and Waiver of Liability.

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
