Davis Bike and BIrd
Field Trip
On bicycles, we will follow a clockwise path around Davis, hitting parks, greenbelts and water courses, to survey the common birds seen in a typical day in Davis. This field trip could be used as a way to see as many birds as possible in one day within the city limits. A great trip
for beginning birders of all ages; become familiar with common birds wintering in Davis.
Meet group at 9:00 AM at the Covell Nugget Market parking lot, near Carl’s Junior. We’ll begin with a swing around Wildhorse for a view of some resident Burrowing Owls. We will pass through Slide Hill Park to Lake Alhambra and then ride through Explorit Park and over the highway to Willow Creek Park and the Putah Creek Greenbelt. After lunch at the UC Davis Arboretum Duck Pond, we will wend our way through UC Davis Campus and hit some west Davis highlights, proceeding along the PerimeterGreenbelt Park to Northstar Park/Drainage Pond. 46rom there, a few central Davis hot spot and back to the Nugget Market parking lot.
You will need a bike, helmet, water and lunch; plan on a long day. The pace will be leisurely, with stops for any interesting bird.
