A great time to
visit the Napa Valley is during the winter months. Rain is
falling in Napa Valley, but that does not stop the annual
migration of birds through the Wine Country. Birdwatchers from
all over the country are attracted to Napa Valley as the flocks
of migratory birds come straight through the Napa Valley and
newly restored marshland along the Napa river...
Many visitors
prefer to do Birdwatching by boat. Napa River Adventures has
regularly scheduled birdwatching cruises that bring the birds to
you. Your Napa River Cruise at Napa River Adventures delivers a
fun and educational tour of the Napa River. Whatever your
birding interests; the Napa Valley has a wide variety of bird
watching activities suited for beginners as well as
professionals. Napa River Adventures operates an eco-friendly,
electric-motor launch to view riparian habitats in their entire
undisturbed splendor. North of San Francisco, the wetlands of
Wine Country Napa Valley offers diverse habitats with abundant
food and space for breeding, and rest stop during migrations.
The upland
areas in north Napa County rise to peaks of 4000+ feet and
contain mixed deciduous forests where Golden Eagles, Red Tail
Hawks and Falcons reside. As you descend to oak woodlands in the
valleys, and enter the large fresh-water habitats at Lake
Berryessa and Lake Hennessey you can experience the glory of
Osprey and view Bald Eagles diving and swooping for their meals.
The birds have certainly discovered the beauty of the Napa
Valley, you should too! ·
