SUMMARY:Tour: Extremes of Inyo County (plus a little Mono County)
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 25 – 30\, 2026\nLeaders: Bob Toleno and Juli Chamberlin\nCost: $975 per person for a shared room; $1\,175 for a single (includes all lodging and meals\, excluding alcohol)\nThe tour IS SOLD OUT\n\nWe’re running a repeat of last year’s popular Inyo County tour. We’ve added one additional night and an extra half day to try and see a few more species than we did last year. Some examples of breeding birds we saw on last year’s tour: Gambel’s Quail\, Greater Roadrunner\, Lesser & Common Nighthawk\, Black Swift\, Calliope Hummingbird\, Black-backed Woodpecker\, Brown-crested Flycatcher\, Plumbeous Vireo\, Juniper Titmouse\, Verdin\, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher\, LeConte’s Thrasher\, Black-throated Sparrow\, Sagebrush Sparrow\, Scott’s Oriole\, Lucy’s Warbler\, and Summer Tanager. Besides the breeding birds\, late May is also peak migration time\, so we’ll be searching the desert oases for the birds who are just passing through on their way north.\n\nThe tour IS SOLD OUT

SUMMARY:Mill Creek Road\, Fremont
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 2\, 8:30am – noon\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nbi*****@****no.com \n\n\nMill Creek Road is an underappreciated birding hotspot in Fremont. It parallels Mill Creek\, which creates a rich riparian habitat that flows from Mission Peak. In early May\, we hope to see migrants like Ash-throated Flycatcher\, Cassin’s Vireo\, migrating warblers\, as well as Rufous Hummingbird\, and maybe even an Olive-sided Flycatcher. Resident Rufous-crowned Sparrows should be singing\, and we’ll likely hear the song of the recently arrived Grasshopper Sparrow\, too. Lazuli Buntings and Black-headed Grosbeaks should be relatively abundant and singing on their breeding territories. We’ll walk about 1.5 – 2 miles on a paved road up the gentle hill and then back again. \n\n\nDirections: From 880 S\, take Auto Mall Pkwy east\, then get on 680 N for 2 miles\, exit on Mission Blvd\, turn right\, then turn left on Mill Creek Rd after just a couple blocks. Park on the street near the corner of Mill Creek Rd and Linmore Dr. There are no restrooms\, so be sure to stop at the McDonalds or a gas station on Mission Blvd beforehand to use the facilities.

SUMMARY:Mines Road\, Livermore
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 18\, 7:30am-3pm\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nRSVP: bi*****@****no.com\n\nFIELD TRIP RESCHEDULED! \nMines Road ascends from Livermore Valley into the hills of the Diablo Range. As you increase elevation the habitat moves from oak savannah through chemise chaparral and into mixed pine woodland. The varied habitats support an excellent variety of breeding and migrating birds\, including some species that are rarely seen elsewhere in Alameda County. Some of the birds we’ll hope to see will be Rufous-crowned Sparrow\, Phainopepla\, Lawrence’s Goldfinch\, and if we’re very lucky\, maybe even Greater Roadrunner or Prairie Falcon. We’ll end the birding in San Antonio Valley\, where we’ll hope to see Lewis’s Woodpeckers.\n\nThis caravan-style trip will meet at the Livermore Park & Ride on Portola Ave at 7:30am. We’ll then arrange ourselves into carpools\, because many of the pullouts on Mines Road are small\, so we’ll need to have as few vehicles as possible. Trip will be limited to 12 participants\, so you must RSVP to attend. Bring sunscreen\, lunch\, and plenty of water. Scopes might be helpful\, but not necessary.\n\nDirections: Take I-580 east to Exit 52\, turn right on N Livermore Ave\, then right on Portola Ave. The Park & Ride  is at 1662 Portola Ave\, Livermore. Please be on time as we will try to get on the road promptly at 7:45am!

SUMMARY:Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary 
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Bay is one of the most important areas for migrating shorebirds on the west coast of North America. When the tide is just right\, Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary can provide excellent views of these migrating shorebirds\, and in July\, most will still be in full breeding plumage. Meet at the Elsie Roemer viewing platform where Broadway meets Shore Line Drive. Bring a scope if you have one. All are welcome\, no RSVP required.  \nDirections: From Hayward or San Leandro\, take I-880 to Davis Street exit west then turn right on Doolittle Drive to the bridge to Alameda\, where the street becomes Otis Drive. Turn left at Broadway\, drive southwest to Shore Line Drive\, and park along the street.

SUMMARY:The Extremes of Inyo County Tour
DESCRIPTION:Contact bo*@****no.com\n\n\n\n\nJune 1 – 5\, 2025\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\n\nCost: $825 per person for shared room; $950 for private room. Cost includes all food and lodging\, and any surplus benefits Ohlone Audubon Society.\nEmail: bo*@****no.com\n\nTHIS TOUR IS NOW FULL\n\nOn the southeast flank of the Sierra Nevada range\, Inyo County spans a huge range of habitats and elevations\, and offers some of the best inland birding in California. On this proposed tour\, we would explore those extremes\, from moist fir and aspen forests in the Sierra Nevada to the dry bristlecone pine forest of the White Mountains\, which contain the oldest living things on our continent. From the rich lowland riparian areas of the Owens Valley to the natural and artificial oases of the extreme deserts of the region\, including the lowest place on the continent\, Death Valley.\n\nIn addition to all the great breeding birds\, early June is prime time to find migrants\, especially vagrants from eastern North America. As nocturnal migrants fly over the deserts\, when the sun rises\, they must find patches of habitat where they can feed so they can continue northward. The artificial and natural oases act as magnets for migrating birds\, and in early June\, many of those can be rare eastern birds. For example\, in just one short morning walk at Furnace Creek a few years ago\, I was able to see Gray Catbird\, American Redstart\, Bobolink\, Indigo Buntings\, and two Cape May Warblers! You just never know what can show up.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please email to let me know. At least six participants would be needed to make the tour work\, and the maximum number would be ten. This would be a caravan-style tour\, so participants would need to arrive in their own vehicles (carpooling is always encouraged\, when possible). Lodging would be in motels and hotels\, meals in restaurants\, and all would be reserved for you in advance. It should be a lot of fun in a unique and exciting birding area in California!\n\n\n\nDownload the PDF Itinerary\n\nLocation Inyo County
