Male Townsend Warbler

Late September is a great chance to say goodbye to some of the summer residents before they head south, welcome back the winter residents from their breeding grounds in the north, and give a quick hello to the birds that just pass through on their way back south.  Possible birds include Harris's and Red-tailed hawks, Burrowing Owls, several species of Warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Blue Grosbeaks, and several species of ducks. Bring water, sunscreen, insect repellent and binoculars.  This field trip will last about 2 hours. Meet at Riverside Canal bridge at 8 AM.  From 1-10 take Americas Avenue/Loop 375 south to Pan American, turn left and travel 1.5 miles to the bridge. (MAP) For more information, contact Kevin Floyd at kwfloyd@gmail.com
