Waters Did you know that the Belted kingfisher, Yellow-bellied sapsucker, Western wood peewee, and White breasted nuthatch are all birds found in the Folsom Lake area? This information is but a sample of the detailed guide to the flora and fauna of the Folsom lake region published in booklet form by the State Department of Parks and Recreation. The book was prepared by David W. Newberry, a graduate student at UC Davis, under an internship sponsored by the National ,Audobon Society. Titled “The Plants and Animals of Folsom lake State Recreational Area” Newberry has classified the plant and animal life into five communities and two areas and details the plants, mammals, birds and reptiles to be found in each. His categories of communities are the Chaparral, Oak Woodland, Grassland, Montane Forest and Riparian Woodland and his areas are the Freshwater and the Rocky Cliffs. In an excellent Appendixes he has provided an alphabetical listing of all plants and animal life for the overall region, complete with common names as well as the scientific designations. As Newberry explains, ‘‘The physical environment, geology and climate are the primary factors that determine the kinds of plant communities that occur near Folsom Lake. However, many other factors control the actual distribution or pattern of these plant communities and their associated animals.” The reasons behind the vegetation pattern of the foothills are discussed in the first part of the text, then each natural community is discussed separately. Folsom Lake itself is not a natural body of water. It results from the American River dam constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation to provide for water deficiencies in the San Joaquin Valley, help develop local water supplies, provide flood protection, produce power, improve navigation on the Sacramento River, provide recreation and to help repel Salinity in the Delta. -The lake, situated about 25 miles east of Sacramento, has a 120 mile shoreline and encompasses 11,500 acres of water surface. Nimbus Damn, situated six miles downstream, forms the smaller Lake Natoma with 25 miles of shoreline containing 500 acres of water surface. In 1956 the state acquired, through a 50 year lease from the Bureau of Reclamation, rights to a strip of land 300 feet above the 460 foot high water contour Surrounding the lake. Since then additional parcels including the Lake Natoma area have been added and the entire project is operated as a state park recreational area. It is said to be the most popular multi-use year around outdoor recreational facility in the state park system. It offers picknicking, camping, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, boating, waterskiing, swimming, scuba diving, bird watching and nature study. Newberry points out the climate, which he likens to that of the ‘ Mediterranean, is ideal for outdoor recreation. “The sun shines at Folsom Lake approximately 300 days a year.’ Even when the Central Valley is locked in fog, sunshine is frequent above the 1000 foot level and is virtually guaranteed the rest of the year.” “From May to October, scarcely a drop of rain touches the ground. Birds finish nesting early, streams dry up, flowers wither. Only the tarweeds break the dormancy of late summer, pushing pungent yellow heads above the baked earth. Growth slows somewhat during December, January and February, when night temperatures may be near freezing, but with warmer wather in March, everything comes alive.” Judging from the lists of plants and animals in the area it is a virtual Eden. Animals to be found there include possums, badgers, deer coyotes, fox, and mountain lions. Frogs, turtles and scads of snakes account for the reptiles and amphibian: but the only dangerous snake is the Northern Pacific rattlesnake. And the area must be a birdwatchers dream pardise for Newberry has listed well over 200 species commonly found around Folsom Lake. These include, ducks, geese, loons, cormorants, herons, egrets, swans, hawks, eagles, quail, cranes, gulls, pigeons, doves, owls and a host of others.
