Field Trip: Saturday Bird Walk at Pine Flat Road

Date: Saturday May 14, 2016

Time: 8:00 AM

This Saturday, May 14th, we will be birding a Sonoma County hotspot, Pine Flat Road. (NSAS Event)

Details:

Leader: Andrew Ford

Description: We will only be birding parts of the 11 miles of paved road. The road goes through chaparral, grassland, and mixed forest offering a wide species mix. Northern Pygmy Owl, Lazuli Bunting, Grasshopper Sparrow, California Thrasher, various flycatchers, and breeding birds are just some of the species we will be looking for. Weather is forecast for the eighties and some moderate grades are present, so dress accordingly and bring water and a snack.

Napa carpool will depart the eastside of Sweeny’s Sports at 6:45 am with a return to Sweeny’s at around 2pm.

Directions: We will meet at the corner of Alexander Valley Rd and Pine Flat Rd at 8:00 am. We anticipate finishing by around 1pm.
