Join Brad Barnwell and Darlene Hecomovich, Lake County Christmas Bird Count compilers, to bird in Clear Lake State Park. (NSAS Event)

Details:

Leader: Brad Barnwell and Darlene Hecomovich

Description: Clear Lake is home to more than 300 species of birds. If the lake is low enough, we may find some shore birds, as well as a possible Rail, Sora, Peep, Pipit and Warbler or two. Hopefully, we will see White-throated sparrow, White Pelicans, Common Mergansers and a Wood Duck along with Herons and Egrets. For the most part, it will be a day of typical riparian and oak woodland species with the hope of Creepers, Wrentits, all of our local Woodpeckers, and maybe a few Warblers.

There is an $8 vehicle entry fee to the park; exact change is needed.

This trip is limited to 15 people. Please RSVP by October 1 to Wendy Cole at (707)963-2331 or beehaven2@comcast.net.

Bring: Wear sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting wet or muddy, should we be able to go out to the mouth of Kelsey Creek. Bring binoculars, scope (if you have one), hat, mosquito repellent, snacks, water, and bird book. Things to be aware of: ticks, mosquitoes, yellow jackets, snakes and poison oak -- just a walk in the park!!
