Every city in Ventura County has multiple parks\, so feel free to visit a couple and post your findings on our eBird Trip Report. If you would like to work together as a team\, we will have a sign-up form closer to the date. We will then publish our results on the CVAS website and discuss at the December 1st meeting. \n\n\n\nContact John Mueller (818) 625-9584 to indicate which park you intend to cover \n\n\n\nOr use our new Field Trip Sign-Up Form and indicate which you want to cover \n\n\n\nHere is the proposed list of parks that could be covered. To maximize coverage\, I would suggest no more than 2 people per park. Maybe spend 30-60 minutes per park to cover it sufficiently\, but not over-doing it. If there are parks missing\, please let us know. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPark Name \n\n\n\n\n\nCity \n\n\n\n\n\nBirder \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBob Kildee Community Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n John Mueller \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Center Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFreedom Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLokker Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMission Oaks Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPitts Ranch Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n John Mueller \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValle Lindo Park \n\n\n\n\n\nCamarillo \n\n\n\n\n\n John Mueller \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEl Rio Park \n\n\n\n\n\nEl Rio \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunkist Park \n\n\n\n\n\nEl Rio \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSheill Park \n\n\n\n\n\nFillmore \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo Rivers Park \n\n\n\n\n\nFillmore \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeiners Oaks Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMeiners Oaks \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArroyo Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMoorpark \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCampus View Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMoorpark \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOak Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMoorpark \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeach Hill Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMoorpark \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoindexter Park \n\n\n\n\n\nMoorpark \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNyeland Acres Park \n\n\n\n\n\nNyeland Acres \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChaparral Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOak Park \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeerhill Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOak Park \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMedea Creek Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOak Park \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOak Canyon Community Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOak Park \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOak View Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOak View \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLibbey Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOjai \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoule Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOjai \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollege Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDel Sol Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLa Colonia Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRio Lindo Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRio Vista Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSouthwinds Park \n\n\n\n\n\nOxnard \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWarring Park \n\n\n\n\n\nPiru \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBubbling Springs Park \n\n\n\n\n\nPort Hueneme \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCivic Center Park \n\n\n\n\n\nPort Hueneme \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoranda Park \n\n\n\n\n\nPort Hueneme \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrvene S.

Canvasback have been seen there most years as well as American White Pelicans among others. Expect to walk about 2 miles total. Not much shade so bring a hat and sunscreen. \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO SIGN-UP \n\n\n\nLeader is John Mueller (818) 625-9584 \n\n\n\nMore info: https://www.csuci.edu/unipark/ URL:https://wp.conejovalleyaudubon.org/event/12171/ CATEGORIES:Field Trips END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260114T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260114T080000 DTSTAMP:20260419T234425 CREATED:20260101T004129Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260101T013156Z UID:12178-1768377600-1768377600@wp.conejovalleyaudubon.org SUMMARY:Beginner Bird Walk - Rancho Sierra Vista / Satwiwa DESCRIPTION:Conejo Valley Audubon invites birders of all experience levels to attend our monthly Beginner Bird Walk at Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa.

Participants can count birds on any of the four days and submit sightings using Merlin Bird ID\, eBird Mobile\, or the eBird website\, with no separate registration required. The goal is to create a worldwide snapshot of where birds are and how they’re doing. It’s easy\, fun\, and meaningful whether you’re birding solo\, with family\, or as part of a community event. \n\n\n\nMore info at: https://www.birdcount.org/ URL:https://wp.conejovalleyaudubon.org/event/great-backyard-bird-count/ CATEGORIES:Field Trips END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260213T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260213T130000 DTSTAMP:20260419T234425 CREATED:20260101T003700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T021004Z UID:12174-1770969600-1770987600@wp.conejovalleyaudubon.org SUMMARY:Point Mugu Naval Base - NEW DATE DESCRIPTION:Restricted to current CVAS members. \n\n\n\n[NEW DATE] Sign-up deadline was Jan 20th.  Check our Field Trips page for current updates\, or email John Mueller\, your Fieldtrip Chair for more Information:  fieldtrips@conejovalleyaudubon.org.
