SUMMARY:Mt. Tam and Corte Madera Marshes
DESCRIPTION:Birding in Marin – Season 9\, Trip 3\nSaturday\, March 2\, 2024\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister HERE for this field trip \nRegistration opens Wednesday\, February 21st at 8 AM. \nMount Tamalpais\, rising like an icon above Marin\, hosts some birds uncommonly seen in the rest of the county such as Pileated Woodpecker\, Red-breasted Nuthatch\, Purple Finch\, Red Crossbill\, and in the winter\, 1 or 2 Townsend’s Solitaire. \nAbout twenty years ago our friend Dave MacKenzie discovered a TOSO feeding on mistletoe berries in some Sargent Cypress trees along the trail to Barth’s retreat and the bird or its children have returned every year since! But the trail\, built by the CCC\, (California Conservation Corp)\, back in the 1930s has not withstood the test of time quite as well. So\, if you are up for a vigorous though short (3.5 miles) hike\, join us to see what we can find. \nAfter our lunch break back at Rock Springs with fine picnic tables and a restroom\, we intend to drive down to sea level to look at the Corte Madera marshes. This area is very birdy\, so depending on the tidal height\, we expect to see a lot of birds there. Wintering shorebirds are gearing up for the return to their arctic nesting grounds\, so we may be able to see how Black-bellied Plovers got their name. As the shorebirds molt into their breeding plumage\, if we are diligent\, we might even be able to tell the two Dowitcher species apart. \nDIRECTIONS: Meet at Rock Springs at 8:30 a.m. From Hwy 1 in Stinson Beach or up 3.3 miles from Tam Junction\, take Panoramic Dr to its crest then go uphill 1 mile on Pantoll Rd to the Rock Springs parking lot.
