RROS Field Trip: Morning Owling at Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park

Early morning owling along the entrance road to Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park. Possible Spotted Owl and Saw-whet Owl. Probable Northern Pygmy-Owl, Western Screech-Owl, and Great Horned Owl. Ruthie Rudesill will lead us. Ruthie has some of the best “bird ears” in the County and great knowledge of owl calls. We’ll meet on Adobe Canyon Road near the intersection with Highway 12 (38.4251438, -122.5559084) at 5:45AM. Owling is about hearing the birds, so please wear quiet clothing—nothing that makes noise when you move. Carpooling is encouraged. After sunrise (7:15AM), those who wish to, may join us birding the Meadow/Hillside trails loop. Sugarloaf requires a $10 parking fee ($8 senior) or annual pass. For more information or to RSVP, contact Malcolm Blanchard (707) 480-2210.
