LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Redbud Audubon Society will host a field trip to the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, Jan. 21.

The original plan was to go to the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge, but word that a rare falcated duck has been seen at the CNWR has prompted field trip organizers to switch locations.

This duck is a Russian duck and considered an extreme rarity to be seen here. So, here is your chance to add a very interesting bird to your life list.

Carpooling is available. Participants leave Lower Lake around 8 a.m. and meet on the east end of the Main Street to park in a place that won’t interfere with merchants in town.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to view a wide variety of migrating wildfowl with expert Audubon birders, as well as a possible sighting of the falcated duck.

For more information and to make reservations, contact Pat Harmon at 707-263-4977 or Roberta Lyons at 707-994-2024.
