SUMMARY:MDAS Field Trip — Birding by Bike at Clifton Court Forebay
DESCRIPTION:Have a bicycle\, e-bike or scooter\, and like to bird? Join MDAS at Clifton Court Reservoir in eastern Contra Costa County\, where we will do an out-and-back biking/birding trip of approximately 10 miles on a flat\, paved levee road\, to see a myriad of bird species. Those who are equipped for it can also navigate a series of well-maintained gravel levee roads to avoid taking the same route back. \nClifton Court Forebay is an enormous reservoir that collects Delta water and sends it south through the Delta-Mendota canal. The reservoir itself can hold staggering numbers of waterfowl and gulls\, and the surrounding habitat of slough\, marshland\, grassland\, scrub and riparian woods is very productive. It is not uncommon to record 60-80 species of birds in a single outing\, and the place is a magnet for rarities\, especially in fall. There are also excellent chances to see river otters\, coyotes\, resident sea lions and even a beaver if we’re lucky. \nTrip is approximately 5 hours\, although participants can turn back at any time. There is plenty of free parking at the Forebay\, but no restroom facilities or potable water. Must be able to transport your bike/scooter to the site. It can be windy out there\, but is pleasant most of the time. We will monitor the forecast\, gale-force winds will cancel. \nMeet at the parking lot at the end of Clifton Court Road (left turn from highway J4 approximately 2 miles southeast of Byron) at 7:30 AM. Bring layers\, sunscreen\, water and a snack or lunch for when we get back to the cars. \nLeader: Jerry Britten\nMeeting Point GPS: 37.8378308046695\, -121.59322207166935 \nThis trip is limited to 15 participants. All Field Trips are first-registered\, first-served. Participants acknowledge the MDAS Liability Waiver (available during registration) \nRegister HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/birding-by-bike-at-clifton-court-forebay-tickets-695135528077 \n(Photo by Jerry Britten)
