Leader: Carol Boykin

Description: Go on an auto-tour of the 16,000-acre Yolo Wildlife area and view flooded seasonal and permanent wetlands and native grasslands. We will see ponds full of migrating and resident waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds, raptors and wading birds.

Directions: To the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, take I-80 East to Davis and Mace Blvd. Exit. Turn left at the end of the off-ramp (Chiles Road). Go straight through the next light and travel approximately 4 miles to the end of the road. Do not go under the highway. Go up onto the levee and wait to carpool with the rest of the group.

Bring: Lunch, water, $ for carpool gas, comfortable walking shoes, binoculars, and dress in layers--possible cold breezes.
