SUMMARY:MDBA Field Trip -- Bridgeway Island Pond\, West Sacramento
DESCRIPTION:Bridgeway Island Pond in West Sacramento is a low-key birding hotspot\, offering fairly close views of an assortment of waterfowl and shorebirds. In past years it’s been a great spot for Blue-winged Teal\, as well as American Avocet\, Cinnamon Teal\, and Sora. Easy access with a mostly flat\, grassy area. Not much walking will be required\, more standing and observing at different areas along the pond. We’ll make another bird-related stop afterwards\, to be determined based on weather. Last year we visited the Raptor Center in Davis. \nThis is a good trip for beginning birders! \nHike rating: 1 – Easy.\nLeader: Mona Lange\, 510-414-2959\nMeet: the McDonalds at 2244 Lake Washington Blvd. in West Sacramento at 9:15 AM for a restroom stop\, proceeding to the pond by 9:30.\nDirections: Take 80 East toward Sacramento. Exit at Enterprise and Harbor Blvd (exit 81) and go Right. Take the 2nd Left to Industrial Blvd. After a few miles Industrial Blvd changes its name to Lake Washington Blvd. Make a Left on Southport Parkway and then first left to enter the shopping center. Another first Left then leads to the McDonalds.\nGPS for the 9:15 meeting point at McDonalds: 38.556747929224194\, -121.5399085526047 \nAfter McDonalds we’ll go back out to Southport making a Right onto it. Going a few more miles\, make a Right on Oakland Bay Drive. First Right onto Bowen Island street which changes to Solomon Island Rd as it goes around the corner. First Right takes you to where we’ll park for the pond\, on Pender Island Street. We may have to park in the neighborhood also.\nGPS for the Pond\, where we expect to arrive by 9:30: 38.540701884803845\, -121.57782606798398 \nThis outing is limited to 12 birders of any experience level\, including beginners.
