SUMMARY:Sunol: Alameda’s Hidden Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:Sat. April 18\, 9am-12am\nTucked away east of Fremont\, in south-east Alameda County\, is Sunol Regional Park\, perhaps the most beautiful and wild of Alameda’s nature preserves. Covered in oak woodlands\, surrounded by high crags and bisected by Alameda Creek\, it is home to a great variety of birds\, small mammals\, butterflies and other wildlife. As we walk through the woodlands that line the creek\, we hear the cackling of Acorn woodpeckers and see flycatchers\, nuthatches\, vireos\, 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. And occasionally we can see\, soaring in the big open sky along the cliffs\, Golden eagles\, Red-tails and White-tailed Kites. Only one word sums up this secluded natural treasure: extraordinary! Great landscape photography opportunities. (Parking fee) For lunch try Sunol\, a tiny nearby village\, or the little town of Niles with their museum of silent film. (Charlie Chaplin once walked these streets!)

SUMMARY:Magpies\, Orioles and Roadrunners: The Livermore-Mines Road Tour
DESCRIPTION:Sat. April 25\, 10am-4pm \nJourneying along Mines Road is a trip through wild and rugged country into the vanished past of old Alameda County. We meet and begin in Livermore at the Concannon Winery at 10am and drive through 30 miles of cattle ranches\, meandering creeks with huge sycamores\, oak woodlands and chaparral-covered hillsides. This wild country hosts a great assortment of birds\, including Golden Eagles\, Yellow-billed Magpies\, Phainopeplas\, Red-shouldered hawks\, orioles and Great Horned owls. Even hard-to-find Lawrence’s goldfinches\, Roadrunners and Lewis’ woodpeckers are possible! Bring drinks or lunch\, or buy one at the Junction Café around noon. We expect to see up to 50 species for the day. This tour is primarily roadside birding with very little walking. From the East Bay take 580 south-east to the North Livermore exit\, and proceed a mile or so through town\, when the road becomes South Livermore (but still the same road). Continue a short way to Tesla Road; Concannon Vinyard entrance is immediately on the left; park in the large lot next to the main building. (Google maps are useful for additional info on directions.) Make sure you have a full tank of gas for the 60-mile roundtrip journey from Livermore and back!
