November 21, join trip leader Judy Johnson for an excursion to Kern National Wildlife Refuge for sightings of migratory waterfowl.
We will meet in the Walmart parking lot at Ashlan and Blackstone at 6:45am for a 7:00am start.
It will take us at least 2 hours to reach Kern NWR, and we will make a brief stop at the Corcoran Reservoir. Target birds include the usual winter duck species, with canvas backs and red heads likely. Good chance of seeing several grebe species, gallinules, and the usual wading birds. If we are lucky, we may see ferruginous hawks and peregrine falcons on the drive down, and possibly greater roadrunners.
Bring day packs, lunch, snacks, plenty of water, binoculars, sunscreen, and radios (walkie talkies) if you have them. Dress in layers. Hiking will be minimal, but wear comfortable walking shoes.
We will leave the refuge at 1:00pm, arriving in Fresno at around 3pm.
Registration is required for this event.
