About 40 hearty souls gathered on a cold New Years morning for hots drinks and goodies and to greet the river. We were greeted in return by a sea lion, beavers, cormorants, kingfisher, kestrel, red shouldered hawk, geese, crow… What a fabulous way to start the year!!

The New Year is certainly off to a great start with a number of new species being recorded at Sutter's Landing Park during the first few weeks. Ruddy ducks, American wigeon, Greater scaup, and Eared grebes, oh my!
