Introduction to Birding at the Sumner Peck Ranch
14439 N Friant Rd
Friant, CA 93626
Please register for the May 20 event here.
The Parkway Trust and Fresno Audubon Society have joined forces to offer a birding class that combines instruction, exploration, and fun! Beginning birders will see and learn about local and migratory birds that might be visiting the Sumner Peck Ranch. New birders will discover easy ways to identify migrating and year-round, local birds. The class will include a walk looking for birds in the various habitats found at the Sumner Peck Ranch. We will meet at the new picnic shelter on the north side of the center. After entering the grounds, proceed straight ahead towards the river. There is a parking area and a picnic area at the river. After learning about using binoculars and various aids in bird identification like guide books and phone apps, we will bird around the property. Bring binoculars, lunch, water and sun protection. Fresno Audubon will have binoculars to loan if you do not have your own. Children are welcome! Rain cancels this event.
Class is held from 9 AM -12 PM on the third Saturday of each month from October through May.

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.

Shaver Lake/Swanson Meadow Bird Walk
June 10, 2023
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.

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.
