Views birds
The Redwood Region Audubon Society and trip leader Ken Burton will present a free birding trip to the McKinleyville portion of the Mad River floodplain on Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon.
Participants will walk lower Fischer Avenue before venturing out into the fields bordering the riparian strip, and then will explore the new restoration area and see what’s on the pond.
The site holds potential for sparrows, blackbirds and potentially shorebirds and waterfowl. Be prepared for mud if there’s been rain. If time permits, everyone will check out Silva Road, too.
To participate, meet Ken at the south end of Fischer Avenue (north end of the Hammond Bridge). For more information, email [email protected].
