Lake-of-the-Pines Wastewater Treatment Facility in conjunction with the Great Backyard Bird Count

Meet just outside the treatment plant gate at 10984 Riata Way, Auburn (but actually in Nevada County). The LOP WWTP is probably the closest thing to a wetland refuge in western Nevada County with its ponds and Magnolia Creek bordered by oak woodlands and pastures. Expect waterfowl, wading birds, winter songbirds, and often a surprise visitor. Easy, flat walking. Call if in doubt about the weather.

Come join our Great Backyard Bird Count community bird walks for a morning of enjoying, counting, and learning about birds and their identification by sight, sound, and behavior. Our data will be submitted to an international database for use by researchers.
