SUMMARY:Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 27\, 8:30 – 11:30am\nLeader: David “Doc Quack” Riensche\,\ndr*******@*****ks.org\nJoin “Doc Quack” for some “fowl fun” in the shadow of California’s capital city\, where over 100\,000 waterfowl annually winter! The Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area is an Important Bird Area\, supporting globally significant numbers of waterfowl\, continentally significant numbers of Least Sandpipers and Northern Pintails\, and nationally significant numbers of American White Pelican\, Canvasback\, and Dunlin. More than 200 bird species have been recorded here\, so bring your scope!\nDirections: To reach the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area\, located approximately 6 miles east of the cities of Davis and 2 miles west of Sacramento\, use Interstate 80 and take the East Chiles Road exit.  At East Chiles Road (also known as Road 32B)\, turn left and travel roughly 0.2 miles (east) to the packed gravel access road and follow it up to the top of the levee berm. Here you will make a left turn through the gate and follow the road into the Wildlife Area. The Auto Tour Route is at the end of East Chiles Road.\n\nRegistration required by November 23. The trip will be canceled if inclement weather is forecast.\nNote: CDFW requires you to carry a Lands Pass. For general information on Lands Passes\, go to https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/lands-pass. To purchase a Lands Pass to print at home\, go to https:// www.ca.wildlifelicense.com/InternetSales/.

SUMMARY:Panoche Valley
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 12\, 8am-4pm\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin \n\nbo*@****no.com\n\n\n\nNestled in the hills on the western side of the Central Valley\, Panoche Valley and the hills surrounding it are fantastic birding spots\, especially in winter. We’ll start in Tres Pinos\, spending the morning in the hills west of the valley\, looking for oak savannah specialties\, like Phainopepla\, Lawrence’s Goldfinch\, Yellow-billed Magpie\, and possibly Bell’s Sparrow in the chaparral. We’ll work our way east through the hills\, maybe spotting a Greater Roadrunner along the road\, if we’re lucky. Once we reach Panoche Valley in the afternoon\, we’ll search for the birds that winter there\, including Ferruginous Hawk\, Prairie Falcon\, Phainopepla\, Mountain Bluebird\, and Mountain Plover.\n\n\n\nBring a lunch and plenty of water\, as there is no place to buy food on the route. Bring a scope\, if you have one. Heavy rain will cancel the trip. There’s a bathroom at the park we’ll start at and a saloon with a restroom in the valley\, but otherwise services are very limited. A little walking may be involved\, but no serious hiking.\n\nDirections: Take I-880 south to I-101 south\, and exit at Hwy 25 south. Continue on 25 through Hollister to Tres Pinos. We’ll meet at the San Benito County Historical Park just a short distance past Tres Pinos.

SUMMARY:2026 Hayward-Fremont Christmas Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:The Christmas Bird Count has been an annual tradition for 126 years\, and is still going strong. Each year\, during the period from December 14 through January 5\, birders all over the world count birds inside of established 15-mile-diameter circles. Locally\, our Hayward-Fremont CBC circle extends from the Pleasanton hills to the San Francisco Bay\, from Castro Valley to Mowry Landing. Last year\, a great team of almost 100 field counters and feeder watchers detected 179 bird species inside the circle. Teams of counters spread out throughout the area to count birds all day long\, then come together at the end for a dinner to report their findings. \nThis year’s CBC will take place on Sunday\, December 20. We’re looking for volunteers to help out counting birds in the field\, or from home at your feeders (contact us to find out if your home is inside the circle). If you’d like to help\, register below. \nWe have been successful in years past and need your help to be successful once more. Community science projects like the CBC benefit from broad participation\, consistent coverage from our area leaders\, and the work of each field and feeder counter.

SUMMARY:Cranes and other Charismatic Critters: Cosumnes River Preserve\, Woodbridge Ecological Reserve
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 27\, 1:30pm to sunset\nLeader: David “Doc Quack” Riensche\n\ndr*******@*****ks.org \nEach fall\, Sandhill Cranes return to the Central Valley where they feed\, socialize\, and rest in the fields and then fly to roost overnight in wetlands. Tundra Swans\, Cackling Geese\, Snow and Ross’s Geese\, rafts of winter ducks\, and other waterfowl and raptors are commonly seen. During this season\, more than 200 species of birds may be observed! We’ll bird the boardwalk at Cosumnes River Preserve and drive by the Desmond Road ponds\, check out Staten Island\, and make our way to Woodbridge Ecological Reserve for sunset fly-in (~4:53 pm). The field trip ends at Woodbridge\, where you can easily get back on I-5 for the drive home. Wear layers and bring snacks and water. Cosumnes River Preserve is about 70 miles from Livermore. \nDirections: Take I-580 east to I-205 east to I-5. Take I- 5 north to the Twin Cities Road exit. Go east on Twin Cities Road about 1 mile and turn right on Franklin Blvd. Continue about a mile or so to the visitor center (facilities available).

SUMMARY:Extremes of Inyo County Tour 2027
DESCRIPTION:Extremes of Inyo County Tour\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nMay 23 – 28\, 2027 \nThis trip is now full. You may add your name to the waiting list. \nOn the southeast flank of the Sierra Nevada\, Inyo County spans a huge range of habitats and elevations\, and offers some of the best inland birding in California. This tour explores those extremes\, from moist fir and aspen forests in the Sierra Nevada to the dry bristlecone pine forest of the White Mountains\, from the rich lowland riparian areas of the Owens Valley to the natural and artificial oases of the driest desert on the continent\, Death Valley. \nBreeding birds we’ll see on this trip include Gambel’s Quail\, Black Swift\, Black-backed Woodpecker\, Brown-crested Flycatcher\, Plumbeous Vireo\, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay\, Juniper Titmouse\, Verdin\, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher\, Cactus Wren\, LeConte’s Thrasher\, Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch\, Black-throated Sparrow\, Scott’s Oriole\, and Lucy’s Warbler. \nBesides just breeding birds\, late May is prime time to find migrants\, especially vagrants from eastern North America. As nocturnal migrants fly over the deserts\, when the sun rises\, the artificial and natural oases act as magnets for these hungry birds. Birders from all around California go to Death Valley each spring and fall to experience this phenomenon. \nThe cost will be $975 per person for a shared room\, $1\,225 for a single. This will be a caravan-style trip\, and carpooling will be facilitated. Limit 10 participants. This tour sold out the past two years! Sign up below if you’re interested. \nInyo County Itinerary – 2027

SUMMARY:Southeast Arizona - Monsoon Season in the Sky Islands
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nJuly 31 – August 8\, 2027\n \nIn the southeast corner of Arizona\, a number of tiny mountain ranges rise up out of the desert\, giving the region its nickname: “The Sky Islands.”  In the summer\, when the intermittent monsoon rains fall and create a “second spring\,” this region becomes a biodiversity hotspot. This tiny area hosts many bird species that can’t be seen anywhere else in the US\, and should be on every birder’s bucket list.\n \nThis eight-day tour will explore four of those ranges: Santa Catalina\, Santa Rita\, Huachuca\, and Chiricahua Mountains. Up to 15 species of hummingbird can be seen at this time of year\, including Rivoli’s\, Berylline\, Violet-crowned\, and Lucifer Hummingbirds\, plus Blue-throated Mountain-gem. Other regional specialties we’ll search for: Montezuma Quail\, Inca Dove\, Zone-tailed Hawk\, Coppery-tailed Trogon\, Greater Pewee\, Thick-billed Kingbird\, Mexican Jay\, Mexican Chickadee\, Bridled Titmouse\, Olive Warbler\, Rufous-winged Sparrow\, Five-striped Sparrow\, Chihuahuan Meadowlark\, Grace’s Warbler\, Red-faced Warbler\, and Varied Bunting. Some wonderful night birds we might see include Buff-collared Nightjar\, Mexican Whip-poor-will\, Elf Owl\, and Whiskered Screech-Owl.\n \nExact costs are TBD\, but probably about $2\,500-2\,700 per person for shared room and about $500 more for a single. Costs include all lodging\, food\, and transportation while on the tour (but not including flights to and from Tucson). Maximum tour size of 9; minimum 7. Sign up below if you’re interested.
