SUMMARY:Birding the Napa River by Boat - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 5\, 2025\n8:30 AM – 12:30 PM\nTrip Leader: Jude Stalker\nTrip Cost: $120 per person\nDue to low attendance we are sadly cancelling this trip. For those who’ve purchased tickets\, MAS will be in touch with you for reimbursement.  \nThis trip begins at the historic Vallejo and Mare Island waterfronts and continues into a different world\, one of vineyards\, backwater homes\, and some of the largest contiguous marshes in the Bay Area. Even before leaving the dock\, you’ll spot diving ducks and grebes feeding. At Mare Island\, you’ll pass Ospreys and egrets roosting in nearby trees. As the boat passes under Highway 37\, you might even catch a pair of Peregrine Falcons during this springtime cruise alongside the Napa/Sonoma marshes. A variety of raptor species are common and occasionally both golden and bald eagles are seen. \nThe trip costs $120. A waitlist will open if the trip sells out. Join the waitlist by clicking the Contact Organizer prompt. If you cancel your registration more than one week before the start of the trip AND we can fill your spot with someone else on the waitlist\, you will be reimbursed unless you would like to convert your registration fee into a tax-deductible donation to MAS. \nTicket holders will receive instructions and directions to the Vallejo Marina\, approximately one week prior to the trip.

SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 21\,2025\n7:30 AM to 12:00 PM **Please note below start times for this field trip\nBirding with William Legge & David Wiechers\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration is required for this trip. Registration opens May 11 at 8 AM \nWith spring migration coming to an end\, we’ll be looking out for late migrants\, including passing loons\, shorebirds and scarcer passerines. As usual\, the weather will dictate our focus with onshore northwest winds ideal for spring sea watches\, while offshore easterly winds promise a good selection of passerine migrants even at this late date. Join us for a Sea Watch at 7:30 AM or arrive later at 8:15 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. A brief mid-morning ‘coffee-stop’ is planned at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Your contribution for coffee via the onsite “tip-jar” would be appreciated. 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 signal 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.

The colony is best seen by a scope from across Belloch’s Lagoon (Strawberry Cove). One scope will be available\, but others would be welcome. \nAfter 12:00\, we will drive from Seminary Drive to the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary for more birding. We’ll take a break for something to eat before we start. Bring drinks and lunch. \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 South – exit 446 toward Seminary Drive\, go left on Redwood Hwy Frontage Road approx. 0.9 miles and go right on Seminary Drive to the Fitness outdoor workout at 107 Seminary Drive and find street parking. From 101 north – exit 446 toward Seminary Drive\, make left at Redwood Frontage Road for approx. 0.5 miles to Seminary Drive\, make right to the Fitness outdoor workout at 107 Seminary and find street parking. \nWe will meet on Seminary Drive near the outdoor workout area at 10 AM. It’s a short walk on the somewhat uneven public footpath around the marsh to a set of stairs that leads to the view of the colony.
