Wild Bird Unlimited Bird Walk
Near Thornton: Sacramento River Delta
Leader: Chuck Groff.
We had 23 birders and there were 8 cars meeting at
Westgate county park. It was a very beautiful day, sunny
and clear. But it was COLD. Generally, the birding was
poor. At the park we saw almost nothing. On Guard road
there were several fields each with many cranes.
Woodbridge road was very disappointing, a few cranes, a
few swans, a few kingfishers and all the waterfowl visible at
the major stopping place were so far away you could hardly
make an ID. Peltier road did have a few fields with more
cranes, but that was it.
