Audubon Birding field trip @ Mather Lake

The Sacramento Audubon Society sponsors bird watching or "birding" trips, and it's recently updated spring schedule lists a Mather Lake field trip led by member and Mather Lake Bird expert Wayne Blunk. Here are the details from the Sacramento Audubon Society's Field Trips schedule page:

Sunday, April 24, 7:30 a.m.
Mather Field
Leader: Wayne Blunk 876-0457

Mather Lake is one of Wayne’s favorite birding locations. Join Wayne to look for resident birds and spring migrants. Targeted birds will be Yellow-headed blackbirds, Black-headed Grosbeaks, White-tailed Kites, Wild Turkey and Green Heron. Meet Wayne in the parking lot of Mather Regional Park at the corner of Douglas Road and Eagle’s Nest Road for this half day trip.
This is a wonderful trip for beginning birders.

There is a feeling of expectation in the air in the southern reaches of the City of Rancho Cordova.

Newly paved roads, smooth from lack of use, wind their way to the front doorsteps of future neighborhoods with names like Regalia, Artistry, Estancia and Sorrento.

The bright blue street signs sprout like weeds from the dirt. Up close, you can count them: 238 freshly-poured foundations, the slabs of concrete on which the new Rancho Cordova will be built.
Welcome to Anatolia, the expanse of development in Rancho Cordova, bordered by Sunrise Boulevard on the west, Douglas Road on the north.
