Today I went to Babel Slough Rd just south of West Sacramento.? There were lots of birds but many were hard to photograph as they flitted among the trees and bushes.
Highlights were a Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel,?Wood Ducks, and?a Sandhill Cranes flyover.? Pics are at:

Hi, Subhash-
What's the best route for birding Babel Slough?? Is it just kind of up and down the road?? If so, how far down the road??
Thanks for your efforts in maintaining the forum and in generally promoting birding in Sacramento.?
Best,
David

The whole Babel Sough Road between So. River Rd and Jefferson Blvd is birdy but the birds are in the trees and bushes, so you need to walk.? You could park at the So River Rd junction and walk as far as you wish to.? Or you can drive the road and stop several times where you can safely pull off the road.? There isn't much traffic, so its relatively safe to walk.

While you may not to feed, see populations grow, then suffer when you don't feed...
...as walking may disturb birds causing a few to leave, might it be of some value to feed a bit to make disturbance offset somewhat by birds seeing the area as nicer or us as pests that leave riches behind, (assuming any figure it out over time.) ? Of course many won't be seed-eaters... BillSF9c |
