This walk will be perfect for beginners, but all levels of birders are welcome. The more eyes the better. Meet at the tiny Kneebone Cemetery just south of the Bridgeport Visitor's center on Pleasant Valley Rd. Free parking. We will follow Kentucky Creek to the Yuba River, past the Visitor's center and historic hay and wagon barn, then across the longest covered bridge in the country, the Bridgeport Covered Bridge. We will see the common foothill species, varying by season, usually at least 20 species per trip. The American Dipper and Bald Eagles are frequently seen here. If weather is questionable, contact the leader.
