If you want company as you learn about birding, we’d be delighted to have you join us for our first Beginners Bird Walk of the Fall Season. oin us Sunday, September 15, 2024 at the American Canyon Wetlands Edge Park for a fun morning of birding. We will meet in the Parking Lot at 9:00 am. This park hosts fresh and salt water habitats, grasslands, and Eucalyptus groves. It is a prime area for migrating Shorebirds and Waterfowl. Green-winged Teal, Pintails, Shovelers, and Gadwalls are frequent ducks that feed in the shallow waters. American Avocets, Marbled Godwits, Willets, Long-billed Curlews, Dowitchers, and Least and Western Sandpipers feed on the mudflats. Riparian birds including Western Bluebirds, House Wrens, Common Yellow-throats, frequent the grasslands, marsh and forest edges, while Red-shouldered and Red-tailed Hawks soar above. It is not uncommon to see a White-tailed Kite or an Osprey flying by with a fish in its talons. On any given day we hope to see anywhere from 50-80 species during the Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons. Directions: From Highway 29 take the Rio Del Mar Exit . Turn right onto Eucalyptus Drive and follow it to the Parking Lot at the end of the road just past Napa Junction Elementary School.
