Description: More than a million waterfowl can’t be wrong! Gray Lodge's diversity and location along the Pacific Flyway make it a heaven for wildlife. Surrounded by miles of rich agricultural lands, this 9,100-acre area is intensively managed primarily for wintering waterfowl. The Sutter Buttes make a perfect backdrop for the flooded fields in which the birds congregate.This is a great trip to see four or more species of geese, nearly a dozen species of ducks, several raptor species, lots of wading birds, and songbirds in the riparian vegetation. The group will meet with Gray Lodge staff to learn about the unique history and management of the area. Then we’ll travel around the one-way auto loop, which has great views from both sides of your vehicle, as well as several parking lots along the way where you can get out of your car and walk.
