SUMMARY:MDBA Field Trip -- Putah Creek at Pedrick Road
DESCRIPTION:This delightful\, fairly short stretch of Putah Creek (~3/4 miles)\, can be very productive during Spring migration. It’s a fairly easy walk through lovely riparian right down in the creek bed. And the occasional sandy stretch will often host several species of birds bathing in the shallows. \nExpect to find a nice selection of warblers: Yellow\, Black-throated Gray\, Orange-crowned\, Wilson’s\, MacGillivray’s\, Hermit\, Townsend’s\, and perhaps a Nashville. And\, of course\, Pacific Slope Flycatcher\, Western Wood Pewee\, Western Tanager\, and keep an eye overhead for a Swainson’s Hawk. Vagrants pop up from time to time (I found a Tennessee Warbler a couple years ago)\, so don’t discount the prospect of a nice surprise. \nBring water and snacks. Facilities are limited to a porta-potty at the parking lot. \nTrail Rating: Category 1\, an easy walk.\nLeader: Tracy Farrington. 925-788-6223\nMeet: Putah Creek parking lot (description to follow)\nDirections: Take 680 east\, cross the Benicia bridge\, remain to the right\, and continue on 680 for ~14 miles to Cordelia where you will merge on to 80 east. Take 80 east about 27 miles to Pedrick Road. This will come up about a mile and a half past 113 south towards Dixon. Turn north (left) at Pedrick\, drive about two miles\, and just as you cross over Putah Creek\, turn left on to a short dirt road and into the Putah Creek parking lot\, where we’ll meet. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/putah-creek-at-pedrick-road-tickets-1322667697689

SUMMARY:MDBA Field Trip -- Pine Canyon
DESCRIPTION:This field trip is especially good for beginning birders! Pine Canyon\, which includes the Castle Rock EBRPD recreational area\, and the Diablo Foothills Regional Park just beyond\, provides rich habitat and resources for spring migrants passing through\, as well as for many returning and nesting summer residents. \nWe should expect to find nesting pairs of Bullock’s Orioles and House Wrens. Warbling Vireos\, along with their cousins\, the Cassin’s Vireo\, nest within the canyon. Rufous-crowned Sparrows are to be found\, and if we’re lucky\, Lazuli Bunting. We’ll look (and listen) for Black-headed Grosbeaks and Western Tanagers. Western Wood-Pewees and Pacific-slope Flycatchers pass through. We might get lucky with an Olive-sided Flycatcher. And the warblers: breeding plumage Yellow-rumped\, Black-throated Gray\, Wilson’s\, Yellow\, Nashville\, MacGillivray’s\, Hermit\, Orange-crowned\, and Townsend’s. \nBring water and snacks. This should be a wonderful springtime field trip. \nTrail Rating: Category 2–Moderate with creek crossings\nElevation change: 150-200 feet\nLeader: Tracy Farrington\, 925-788-6223\nMeet: Diablo Foothills Regional Park trailhead parking lot.\nDirections: From Ygnacio Valley Road\, drive south on either Walnut Avenue or Oak Grove Road to the traffic circle. Continue south on Castle Rock Road\, pass Northgate High School\, then drive to the end of the road. \nThis field trip is limited to 15 participants.

SUMMARY:MDAS Field Trip — Outer Point Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Outer Point Reyes\, Marin coast\nSaturday October 1\, 8:30am – 1pm \nThe Outer Point Reyes area is a wonderful place to find fall migrants\, many of them Eastern passerine vagrants. Warblers spotted here have included Blackburnian\, Blackpoll\, Chestnut-sided\, Connecticut\, Black-and-white\, Magnolia\, Prothonotary\, Yellow-throated\, and Black-throated Blue. We have seen Yellow-green\, Red-eyed and White-eyed Vireos\, Orchard Orioles\, Ovenbirds\, American Redstarts\, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks\, Peregrine Falcons\, and Broad-winged Hawks. In the water we usually have Common Murres\, Pigeon Guillemots\, Cormorants\, and Loons. The chance to see migrants is very much dependent on the weather; the absence of winds from the northwest and an overcast night sky will help trap these land birds at the Outer Point. \nMeet at 8:30 am at Bear Valley Visitor Center in Olema. Weather is unpredictable\, bring layers and be prepared for damp wind. Gale cancels. Bring lunch and liquids. \nHike Rating:  Category 2 – Moderate\nElevation change:  Minor\nLeader:  Matt Tarlach (925-482-6129)\, Tracy Farrington\nMeet:  Bear Valley Visitor Center\, Olema\nGPS: 38.04015134873366\, -122.79957253617275 \nDirections: After crossing the San Rafael Bridge\, go north on 101 to Lucas Valley Road. Drive toward Nicasio. \nAfter passing the town\, turn left on Point Reyes-Petaluma Road for 3 miles to another stop sign.\nTurn right across the bridge\, go 3 miles to SR 1.\nTurn left into Point Reyes Station. Some enjoy stopping at the Bovine Bakery for coffee and pastries.\nContinue out of town towards Olema\, then turn right onto Bear Valley Road. The Visitor Center is off Bear Valley. \nThis hike is limited to 15 participants. Register for this event HERE:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/outer-point-reyes-tickets-401672642687 \nAll field trips require registration and may have a limit on the total number of participants. Participants must acknowledge the MDAS Liability Waiver (available during registration).
