Lincoln Wastewater Treatment Plant
1245 Fiddyment Rd, Lincoln, CA
In this morning trip we will bird the Lincoln Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are several large ponds which can hold a variety of ducks. Eurasian Wigeons have been seen regularly in past years. Depending on the water level, we might see shorebirds such as Black-necked Stilt, Greater Yellowlegs, Long-billed Dowitcher, Dunlin, and Least Sandpipers. While driving on the levees around the ponds, we will search the adjacent trees, fields, and fenceposts for raptors, sparrows, woodpeckers, and other resident species. A small wetland area visible from the levees can hold rails, herons, egrets, gallinules, and Marsh Wrens. Contact trip leader if weather is questionable. Meet at the treatment plant at 8:30 am, or at the Indian Hill Rd. Park n Ride at 8:00 AM. Take I-80 West to Indian Hill/Newcastle Rd exit. Turn left to go over freeway to the park n ride next to the Valero station. It’s about 25 minutes from there to the LWWTP. We will need to sign in at the office.
