Shaver Lake/Swanson Meadow: Saturday, 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.
