Chico- It’s that time again when Canadian Snow Geese and other migratory birds head south for the winter. Thousands of these majestic birds and a variety of ducks can be seen from the official Look Out on Seven Mile Lane South of Chico. Upwards of 50,000 ducks and geese were gathered in the Llano Seco wildlife santuary, many more filled the nearby flooded rice fields.
DIRECTIONS: Bird watchers coming from Chico can find this fantastic sight by following Walnut Ave., due South to the Dayton Four Corners, then turn right and proceed through Dayton . Seven Mile Lane is about six miles ahead where you turn left. It is suggested you don’t stop your car on the roadway to take your pictures as there isn’t adequate room to go around with crossing into the opposing lane. Viewing is excellent at the Look Out just a few miles down the road.
The picture below was taken at about 8:30 am today (Sunday, 12/15/2013).
Now there’s a good story
Lock and load!
