RROS Field Trip: Owling at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park

Early morning owling along the entrance road to Sugarloaf. Probable Northern Pygmy-Owl, Western Screech-Owl, and Great Horned Owl.  Possible Spotted Owl, and Saw-whet Owl.  Ruthie Rudesill will lead us. She has some of the best “bird ears” in the County and great knowledge of owl calls. We’ll meet at the parking lot of Golden Bear Station restaurant (8445 Sonoma Hwy, Kenwood, CA 95452) at 5:00AM. Owling is about hearing the birds, so please wear quiet clothing—nothing that makes noise when you move. Carpooling is encouraged.  After sunrise, we may do some further birding inside the State Park. $10 entrance fee ($8 senior) without a pass. For more information or to RSVP, contact Garrett Pierce (415) 260-7406.
