This is one of the favorite field trips in Calaveras County with a variety of habitats including ponds, grassland, oak woodlands and resort lake. We usually see more than 50 species of birds.

Meet at Barrow’s in Sonora at 8 a.m. to carpool to Copperopolis pond, about 1/4 mile along Rock Creek Road off Highway 4 near Copperopolis or meet at the pond at 9 a.m. Bring water and lunch which we will enjoy at the resort which also has restrooms available ($15 per car).
