Description: This month’s trip will be led by youth birder Joseph Zeno and Rodeo Lagoon veteran William Legge. Joseph is a student at Terra Linda High School and an active member of the Bay Area Chapter of the California Young Birders Club. He is skilled at both identifying and photographing birds. William, of course, we know from previous field trips and recognize him as an expert at this location. We will be targeting migrant ducks, grebes, loons, gulls, and wintering passerines such as Fox Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, and Say’s Phoebe. Join us for a Sea Watch at 7:30 AM or arrive later at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. Directions: Head south on Hwy 101 and take the last Sausalito exit just before the Golden Gate Bridge. At the exit stop sign, turn right and go under the freeway, then follow the road down to the left. Within 300 feet turn left at the sign to the Marin Headlands (This is the only available left turn before you begin the descent into Sausalito). You should see the tunnel with the five-minute light. Proceed through the tunnel on Bunker Road to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end and meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach.
