Our headquarters for this summer weekend getaway will be the Sierra Valley, 25 miles north of Lake Tahoe. It is a vast and wild landscape dotted with little villages like Portola, Blairsden and Sierraville. The valley\u2019s wetlands and forests provide homes to a extraordinary variety of birds, butterflies, wildflowers, trees and mammals. We will visit Lake Davis, the valley marshes, the Feather River, Yuba Pass, Plumas-Eureka State Park and other locations. Likely birds will include sapsuckers, warblers, Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Bald Eagles, Osprey, White Pelicans, Mt. Bluebirds, White-faced Ibis, Sandhill Cranes, Black\u2013billed Magpies, Nighthawks, ducks and hummingbirds. Songbirds include flycatchers, finches, swallows, nuthatches and thrushes. We typically see 80-100 species. The trip begins at\u00a0<span tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1347840737\">noon Friday<\/span>\u00a0in Sierraville on Hwy 89 and ends Sunday at noon.
