Sierra Valley, California
Sierra Valley is a premier birding site, located in the northern Sierra Nevada. It is the largest intermountain valley in the Sierra Nevada, and includes sagebrush scrub, freshwater marshes, grasslands, riparian woodland, is surrounded by coniferous forest and chaparral and forms the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Feather River.
It is truly a birders paradise, and the area where it is easiest to see numerous birds is Marble Hot Springs Road.
Here is a sample, from June of this year:
Willet. A Willet in breeding plumage is a far cry from the dull, gray bird we see most of the year.
Horned Lark:
Wilson's Snipe:
Another Wilson's Snipe:
Barn Swallow. A fledgling begs for food.
