Colusa National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas are some of the best places to observe the annual concentrations of waterfowl in the Central Valley. We should see huge numbers of ducks and geese, along with raptors, shorebirds, and songbirds. We will first visit the District 10 rice fields on Woodruff Lane, north of Marysville, to observe the concentrations of Tundra Swans, then return to Highway 20 and head across the valley to Colusa NWR. Bring a lunch and something to drink. Birding will mainly be from cars with one or two short walks on level ground. All levels of birders are welcome.

Participation will be limited to 10 people. Please contact me by email two weeks before the trip to sign-up. The meeting place will be given when registering. Light rain will not cancel trip, heavy rain will.
