The Fallow Field Shorebird Survey is a volunteer driven effort led by PRBO Conservation Science, Audubon California and the Nature Conservancy to track and coordinate information about shorebird usage of flooded, fallow rice fields in Central California. This blog is for the wonderful volunteers who dedicate their valuable time and apply their skill and passion to conserve birds and their habitats.

Yolo mostly grasslands now
Yolo field 61 is now all but entirely drained of water. Grasses have filled in the northwest third of the field. In the southeast, there remain large sections of exposed soil, but the ground was mostly dry and apparently not attractive to shorebirds as I failed to come up with even a single target species. Savannah Sparrows and Horned Larks were the only birds making regular use of the field.
