SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands | November
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 6\, 2024\n7:30/8:15 AM to noon **Note start times below\nBirding with William Legge and David Wiechers\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration required for this trip. Registration opens on October 27 at 8 AM \nJoin William and David for this fifth fall migration field trip at Rodeo Lagoon. This is their long-time “patch\,” which never seems to disappoint birders with daily variations in species and a good chance of an unusual sighting. On this trip\, our group will be targeting scarcer passerines and other mid-fall migrants. We will begin the morning with a Sea Watch from Rodeo Beach at 7:30 AM. Those arriving later may join us at 8:15 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. A brief mid-morning ‘coffee-stop’ is planned at Headlands Center for the Arts and it would be appreciated if participants come willing to contribute via the onsite ‘tip-jar’ as a thank you to the Headlands Center for the Arts for accommodating our group. This field trip is less suitable for beginners. \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 Rd to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end. Meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach or join MAS birders with scopes along the nearby beach area.
