Description: Bobelaine is a 430-acre National Audubon Sanctuary on the Feather River, managed by Sacramento Audubon Society. It’s is a rare remnant of the riparian forests that once projected two to five miles on either side of the rivers in the Central Valley. Bobelaine is listed as an "Important Bird Area" by the National Audubon Society and the forest of cottonwoods, sycamores and willows is home to a wide variety of birds and wildlife throughout the seasons. We’ll explore the trails and search for the resident and wintering birds. Woodpeckers of various species should be abundant. Black-crowned Night Herons, Wood Ducks, egrets, grebes, and cormorants may be on the water. Cedar Waxwings, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and a variety of sparrows will be settling in for the winter. If we’re lucky, we may even see deer or a family of river otters frolicking along the river. Expect to walk about 2 miles on mostly level ground.
