Local Weekday Bird Walk at Lema Ranch

By on August 21, 2016 in

The Lema Ranch (home to the McConnell Foundation Headquarters) trails are paved, bathrooms are strategically located and offer various habitats: cattail-rimmed ponds, a large lake, open fields and oak woodlands. Past September trips have yielded some local specialties including Common Gallinule, Great-tailed Grackle, Lark Sparrow and Western Bluebird as well as resident waterfowl and songbirds. First of season in-migrators such as White-crowned Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler and Ruby-crowned Kinglet are possible. One year we were privileged to see a variety of migrating warblers. Meet trip leader Linda Aldrich at 8:00 am in the parking lot off Hemmingway St., off Shasta View Drive for this ½-day outing.
