Description:
Gray Lodge Wildlife Area is a jewel in the crown of the CA Department of Fish and Wildlife. More than a million waterfowl can't be wrong! Gray Lodge's habitat diversity and location along the Pacific.
Flyway make it a magnet for ducks, geese and other wildlife. Surrounded by miles of rich agricultural land, this 9,100-acre area is intensively managed primarily for wintering waterfowl. The Sutter Buttes make a perfect backdrop for the wetlands in which the birds congregate. This is a great trip to see, several raptor species, lots of wading birds and songbirds in the riparian vegetation. We will take a short walk through the wetlands and woodlands, to an observation platform with views of huge flocks of waterfowl. Then we'll travel around the one-way auto loop, which has great views of the wetlands and waterfowl from both sides of the vehicles. The group will be in constant communication with Roger using walkie-talkies. This tour has a difficulty rating of 2 (easy walking).
Be sure to bring binoculars, if you own them. Bring a sack lunch, or purchase at Swan Central.
Meet at Swan Central and car pool to Gray Lodge. Duration of this tour is 4 hours and driving is 10 miles each way.
