SUMMARY:Corte Madera Ecological Reserve & Newly Restored Golden Gate Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday November 3rd\, 2021\n9:00 AM to noon\nBirding with Rich Cimino  \nRegistration for the Corte Madera trip will be open starting on October 25 at 8:00 AM. Limit of 15 for this trip. There will not be a waiting list. No drop ins\, please. All participants must be fully vaccinated. Please register via TicketBud HERE \nPurchased in 2016 by Marin Audubon\, this important bayland property has undergone extensive restoration work in subsequent years thanks to the hard work of Marin Audubon Society board members\, hired restoration specialists\, and volunteers. The area is now a restored marsh that supports an important population of Ridgway’s Rails and other special status species and includes a newly created high tide refuge habitat where hired crews have planted 16\,200 native upland plants.  \nRegularly scheduled workdays are held here for those who might like to help with the continuing restoration work\, but on this particular day\, we will join Rich for a tour of the area with a focus on BIRDS! Recently Rich began visiting the area regularly and will share his discoveries with us. High tide is approximately 11 AM\, species we may see are ducks\, long- legged waders\, shorebirds\, rails\, plovers\, White-tailed kites\, Osprey\, American Pipits\, Savannah Sparrows and Western Meadowlarks.  \nNo restrooms are available here. Bring binoculars\, scopes\, layers\, water\, and snacks\, planning a 1.5 to 2 mile walk\, light rain does not cancel the walk.  \nDIRECTIONS: Corte Madera Ecological Reserve is located behind Trader Joe’s at the eastern end of Industrial Way in Corte Madera. Meet and park behind Trader Joe’s.

SUMMARY:Birding in Marin - Las Gallinas & Hamilton Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Saturday November 6th\, 2021\n8:30 AM – 2 PM \nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin \nRegistration for this trip will be available starting on October 27 starting at 8AM. Limit of 15 for this trip. There will not be a waiting list. No drop-ins allowed\, please. All participants must be fully vaccinated. Register via TicketBud HERE. \nJoin Jim and Bob on an easy birdy walk of 1.5mi around the Las Gallinas ponds where we are likely to see 10 species of ducks\, 5 of herons\, 5 of raptors\, 5 of sparrows and some rails like Ridgeway’s\, Sora\, and Virginia with Gallinules\, coots\, Swans and Geese! Shall we try to identify the duck species by females? I wonder if the Merlin will be back. These oxidation ponds\, where a large portion of Marin’s waste water is converted to useful nutrients and clean enough to return safely to the San Francisco Bay ecosystem\, demonstrate how we can provide for wildlife and live in harmony with nature. \nAfter lunch we are going to visit the Hamilton Wetlands\, restored by the Army Corp of Engineers in the recent 5-10 years to the SF Bay ecosystem\, which have become the winter home of some ten thousand birds. It is remarkable that thru the 2nd World War and the Cold War years the US Air Force stayed on alert and could launch jet fighter planes in minutes from an airport here to defend the Bay Area. We will try to find 10 species of shorebirds here while staying alert to many other possibilities. \nDirections: From 101 north San Rafael take the Lucas Valley/Smith Ranch Road exit east. In about .5mi\, immediately after crossing the RR tracks\, left turn and follow the road another 0.5 miles to the Las Gallinas parking at the end. \nTo the Hamilton Wetlands return to 101 North\, take the second exit\, Nave Drive toward Hamilton. Stay on Nave\, Dr.heading north\, to Main Gate Drive and turn right. Go east to Hanger Avenue and park along the levy behind Hangar 7.

Many year-round passerines will be frequenting the willows\, alders\, and scrub. With a view of the Russian River\, we’ll look for some waterbirds as well. \nWe’ll meet at the Russian House #1 restaurant and bird the road’s entrance on foot. We’ll then move all cars down the road to a large pullout.

SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 17\, 2021\n7:30 AM to noon\nWith William Legge and David Wiechers \nClick HERE to register for the field trip \nMid-November is a surprisingly active time for migrants at this Marin Headlands location\, as we search for scarcer late fall migrants including winter wildfowl\, loons\, grebes and passerine migrants. As always\, the weather will determine the focus of our search on the day.  With this ‘hotspot’ producing some memorable Marin rarities in recent Novembers\, including Tricolored Heron\, Scaly-breasted Munia and Rusty Blackbird\, almost anything is possible! We will begin the morning with a sea watch (most productive when onshore winds are blowing) and/or visible migration watch (most productive when offshore winds are blowing) at 7:30 AM. Those arriving later may join us at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon.  \nRegistration for this trip will be open starting on November 8 at 8:00 AM on the MAS website Field Trips page. There is a limit of 12 participants for this trip. There will not be a waiting list. No drop-ins\, please. All participants must be fully vaccinated. \nDIRECTIONS: 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.
