LAKE COUNTY – The Redbud Audubon Society will lead a field trip to Bodega Bay this Saturday, Feb. 20.

Birding spots to be visited include Doran Beach, Port of Bodega, Spud Point Marina, Owl Canyon, the noteworthy “Hole in the Head,” Bodega Head and possibly Salmon Creek.

“This is an opportunity to see many birds not normally seen in Lake County, such as the three Loons – Common, Pacific, and Red Throated,” said Audubon Society President Marilyn Waits.

To carpool, meet at 8 a.m. at the back of the Calpine parking lot in Middletown.

If driving on your own, from Santa Rosa, take Highway 12 Bodega Highway. When it dead-ends at Highway 1, turn right/north.

The exit to Doran park Road is about four miles from this point and will exit off to the left/west from Highway 1. (There is another exit to the right about one-tenth of a mile before the Doran Park Road exit. You don’t want this one. You want the second exit.)

All field trip attendees should meet at 10 a.m. at Doran Park’s second parking lot on the left after the toll booth kiosk. It is the parking lot with a row of Eucalyptus trees along the road, explained Waits.
