Local Weekday Bird Walk
 at Clear Creek Waste Water Treatment Ponds

Green-winged Teal Drake

We are again scheduling a visit to the ponds targeting wintering waterfowl and very early migrating shorebirds. The abundant winter rains should provide abundant open water and muddy shorelines for these species. Assemble at the Treatment Plant’s Administration Building at the end of Metz Road at 8:00 am to meet your leader, Matt Gould. This is a 1/2-day trip that may end in the early afternoon if the birding is good.
Here are the directions to the Clear Creek Plant. Take Hwy. 273 and look for River Ranch Road after crossing Clear Creek. Cross over the Railroad tracks and turn left on Eastside Road. The entrance on Metz Road is on the right.
