Description:
Join a caravan and cruise the back roads in search of Sandhill Cranes! Winter in Sacramento Valley may seem cold, damp and foggy to us, but thousands of Sandhill Cranes feel right at home in the Valley's grasslands, marshes, and agricultural fields. This magnificent bird stands nearly 5 feet tall, with a wingspan of nearly 6 feet! The harvested rice field and grasslands surrounding Sutter Buttes provide excellent foraging habitat for these living dinosaurs. Light rain will not deter us from this great trip.This hike has a difficulty level of 3 (lots of driving and walking on mostly flat ground). Be sure to bring binoculars, if you have them.
Meet at Swan Central and carpool to West of Live Oak. Duration of this tour is 2.5 hours and driving is 10 miles each way.
