Savannah Oaks Golf Course

This residential/golf course area has been a reliable location for Lark Sparrow, and have hosted nesting Blue Grosbeak a couple of the past few years. Check the undeveloped areas, and the area near the Marshall Sand & Gravel rock piles for Lark Sparrow. For Blue Grosbeak, please ask permission to bird watch from the paved golf cart path to gain access to potential nesting areas.

Lark Sparrow has been a regular nesting species in two locations (at least) of Lyon County in recent year. Savannah Oaks Golf Course, and the area of the Lyon County Demolition Landfill and County Highway gravel pit.

Persons are not permitted on the site without permission, but the species are often visible from the road.

Also check the section of the demolition landfill for nesting Orchard Oriole, and Black-billed Cuckoo
