Join Teresa and Miles Tuffli for a morning of birding along Willow Creek Road in Jenner. During raptor migration season, we'll have the potential for multiple species - Ferruginous Hawks, American Kestrels, Bald Eagles, and more. Many wintering and year-round passerines will be frequenting the willows, alders, and scrub. With a view of the Russian River, we’ll look for some water birds as well.

We'll meet at the defunct Russian House #1 restaurant, and bird the road’s entrance on foot. We’ll then move all cars down the road to a large pullout. We’ll bird the willows, creek area, and river view on foot before continuing down the road (birders are encouraged to carpool from there), stopping to bird various sections.

No bathrooms. Heavy rain cancels. Bring layers, water, lunch or snacks, and sunscreen.

Location & Directions: The address for the defunct Russian House #1 is 9960 CA-1, Jenner, California 95450. If coming from Bodega Bay, it's 9 miles north directly along CA-1 (15-20 mins), on the right just before the Russian River bridge. If coming from River Road/Highway 116, take Highway 116 west through Guerneville, Monte Rio, and Duncans Mills until you reach the Y-intersection w/ CA-1. Head left (south) on Highway 1, and the defunct Russian House #1 is on your left immediately after crossing the Russian River bridge.
