A walk out to the wetlands, ponds and sloughs along the Napa River produces many exciting birding opportunities. We expect plenty of waterfowl, raptors, waders, shorebirds and passerines. It can be breezy and cold in this area, so bring appropriate layers. Availability of rest rooms is uncertain. This trip is suitable for birders of all ages – including beginners!
