Birding at Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge, California
Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge is located along the Sacramento River in the Sacramento Valley of California. The riparian habitat along the Sacramento River is critically important for fish, migratory birds, plants, and river system health. It provides shelter for many songbirds and water-associated animals, including the river otter, turtles, beaver, American pelicans, ospreys, and bank swallows.
Landscape is very flat, bordered by the Sierra and Coast ranges, with intensive agriculture (rice, with walnut, almond, and prune orchards along the river). This riparian community is one of the most important wildlife habitats in California and North America.
Currently, the Refuge is composed of 27 units (properties) along a 77-mile stretch of the Sacramento River between Red Bluff and Princeton. Refuge lands comprise 10,146 acres of riparian habitat, wetlands, uplands, and intensively managed walnut, almond, and prune orchards.
