SUMMARY:The Ponds at the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (LGVSD) - San Rafael
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 2\, 2026\n8:30 AM to noon\nBirding with Mark Clark \nRegistration is not required. All participants are welcome to join this trip. \nWe welcome bird enthusiasts of all levels\, especially beginning birders\, to join leader Mark Clark on our monthly walk around the ponds at Las Gallinas. On our search we’ll be looking for waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors and swallows. We are likely to spot some interesting species\, so come assist in our search. \nThe packed dirt paths around the ponds are wide\, flat and easy to navigate. Heavy rain cancels \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101\, exit at Smith Ranch Rd. Drive east on Smith Ranch Rd. toward McInnis Park. Turn left immediately after crossing the railroad tracks and drive about 0.5 mile through the LGVSD gates and into the parking lot at the end of the road.

SUMMARY:Birds\, Plants and Wildflowers of Mt. Burdell
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 2\, 2026\n8:30 am – 1:30 pm\nBirding with David Edelson and Michelle Muir \nREGISTER HERE \nRegistration is required. Registration opens Monday\, March 23 at 8 AM.\nLimit of 15 participants for this trip \nOn this moderate 4-mile hike\, we will look and listen for birds\, and also stop to appreciate native plants and habitat\, particularly wildflowers which should be in abundant bloom. \nMount Burdell\, a Marin County Open Space Preserve located just west of Novato\, is a hotspot of plant and avian diversity\, with diverse oak woodlands\, grasslands\, serpentine outcrops and a vernal pool (Hidden Lake).  Some of the birds we’ll hope to see include spring migrants like orange-crowned warblers\, house wrens\, lark sparrows\, and Bullock’s orioles\, as well as year-round residents like oak titmice\, Bewick’s wrens\, western bluebirds\, and multiple species of woodpeckers.  This trip is suitable for all levels of birders and plant enthusiasts. \nWe’ll meet at the San Andreas trailhead.  To get there\, exit Highway 101 at San Marin Drive\, go west approximately 2.5 miles\, turn right (north) on San Andreas Drive and go roughly .6 mile to the trailhead.  There is parking along the road but no bathrooms or water.  We are planning a 4-mile hike which includes some uphill and/or rocky sections where hiking poles might be useful. We recommend hiking shoes or trail shoes with good traction.  Please bring lunch/snacks\, ample water\, sunscreen\, a hat\, and of course binoculars.
