SUMMARY:Sunol: Alameda’s Hidden Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:Far from the hustle and bustle of Alameda’s cities and highways is Sunol Regional Park\, perhaps the most beautiful and wild of the county’s parklands. Covered in oak woodlands\, surrounded by high crags and bisected by Alameda Creek\, it is home to a great variety of birds\, butterflies and wildlife. As we walk through the thick riparian woodlands\, we hear the wacky cackling of Acorn woodpeckers\, and can note flycatchers\, nuthatches\, warblers and wrens flitting through the trees. On the hillsides several kinds of swallows cut their graceful patterns in the sky\, accompanied by Western bluebirds and noisy Ravens. Occasionally we may surprise a flock of turkeys\, led by a large Tom in majestic display. And soaring in the big open sky are Golden eagles\, Red-tails and White-tailed Kites. Only one word sums up this secluded natural treasure: extraordinary! Great landscape photography opportunities.(Parking fee)

SUMMARY:Rush Ranch Owl Prowl
DESCRIPTION:We return to early frontier California at Rush Ranch\, part of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area near Fairfield. This is a Gold Rush-era farm complete with horse corrals\, set within 2\,000 acres of grasslands and marshes. The land has been preserved for the public by the Solano Land Trust. Sweeping to the horizon in all directions\, the grasslands are also the hunting ground of numerous kinds of owls\, such as the Great Horned\, Barn\, Burrowing and Short-eared. Raptors include Red-tailed hawks\, Northern Harrier\, White-tailed Kite and Kestrels\, among others. We listen to the music of singing meadowlarks as we walk the fields\, and occasionally glimpse Loggerhead shrikes on the fence lines. So if you’re partial to wide open spaces and large wing-swept birds\, this trip is sure to become a “rapturous” memory! Moderate walking\, good landscape photo ops.
