Birding at Roeding Park @ Roeding Park (meet in parking in front of zoo)
May 13 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

Birding at Roeding Park

Registration is required for this event.

Register Here

 

Join trip leader Maureen Walsh for birding at Roeding Park.  We will start at Lake Washington where we will see Wood ducks among other waterfowl in the lake and see the Cattle egret, Black-crowned night herons, and Double-crested cormorants in the rookery on the island. There are hundreds of birds nesting in the rookery.  Then we will walk other areas of the park to see a variety of woodpeckers, raptors, warblers, etc.  

 

We will meet at the parking lot in front of the zoo, across from Lake Washington.  There is a $5.00 entry fee to the park and a new automated parking system.  

 

If you wish to bring lunch, there are plenty of picnic tables available for eating and calculating our bird count.  

 

Participants should bring snacks, lunch (if desired), water, hat, sunscreen, and binoculars, and should dress in layers. Registration is required for this event. If you have any questions, please reach out to trip leader Maureen Walsh at mewnew10@yahoo.com or (559) 706-4980.

Long-billed Curlew, Marbled Godwit and Willet by Peter Nagayama

Time: 10:00 am – 12 noon on the Private Chartered Boat
12 noon – 1 pm Birding on the Shore
1:00 pm Lunch

Cost: $40 per person (NON-REFUNDABLE)

(If the event is canceled due to 18 person minimum not being met a refund will be issued)

 

 

Join FAS and Monterey Bay Eco Tours on a one-of-a-kind, private chartered electric powered catamaran ride for birding and a naturalist led wildlife tour along one of California’s largest tidal waterways, the Elkhorn Slough. Along with the many species of birds that inhabit the slough, we hope to see otters (and pups!) as well as Harbor seals, and other marine mammals. Friends, family, and all ages are welcome, but seating is limited, so please register early.

 

This is an out of town trip starting at 10:00 am, so you can either stay the night before nearby (Watsonville is the most economical) or leave Fresno  to arrive before 10:00. After the catamaran ride we will bird the  Moss Landing North Jetty and State Beach eBird Hotspot and then go to an optional lunch at Phil’s Fish Market before returning home.

 

Please Note: Registration Closes Wednesday, April 26, 2023

Shaver Lake/Swanson Meadow: Saturday, June 10, 2023 @ Shaver Lake/Swanson Meadow
Jun 10 @ 6:45 am – 3:45 pm

 

Shaver Lake/Swanson Meadow Bird Walk

June 10, 2023

Register here

 

We’ll be heading up into the Sierra Nevada on June 10 for a day of mid-elevation birding. It’s not yet clear whether there will still be weather-related limitations for access in this area, so the details will need to remain a bit vague. We hope to start at Swanson Meadow near Shaver Lake. Expect wet conditions in the meadow. Rubber boots might be a good idea, though it’s possible to stay on the higher and drier ground around the edge of the meadow. If the road is open, we’ll go up to McKinley Grove.
Exact details will be worked out as the date gets closer.
We’ll meet at 6:45am in the WalMart parking lot at the corner of Blackstone & Ashlan Avenues for a 7:00am departure time. Bring lunch, insect repellent, and sunscreen. We plan to be back my mid-afternoon.

 

Contact Kevin Enns-Rempel (559-313-4546) for more information.

Wednesday Walk – Fish Camp and Goat Meadow @ Fish Camp and Goat Meadow
Jun 14 @ 8:00 am – 3:00 pm

Registration Required.

Link to Registration.

 

Fresno Audubon’s Wednesday Walk to Fish Camp and Goat Meadow will be on June 14, 2023. We will leave from the Walmart parking lot at Ashlan and Blackstone at 8am and head north on Highway 41.

 

Our first stop will be at Fish Camp, where we will bird around the creek and the willow meadow, looking for Dippers, warblers, and mountain meadow birds.

 

Then we will head for Goat Meadow, about two miles away, just before the entrance to Yosemite National Park. This area is good for woodpeckers, including Pileated Woodpecker and Williamson’s Sapsucker, Nuthatches, mountain warblers, and mountain sparrows, among many other birds. A caveat: because of heavy snow and water runoff this year, we may not be able to access Goat Meadow. If so, we will go to an alternative site.

 

Even though it’s June, still bring warm clothing, waterproof boots, and a lunch. For more information, Contact Larry Parmeter at lanpar362@gmail.com or at 559-288-3456.

 

For more information, contact Larry Parmeter at lanpar362@gmail.com or at 559-288-3456.

 

Checklist: binoculars, scope, field guide, snacks, lunch, water, sunscreen, hat, radios
