SUMMARY:Point Reyes Lighthouse to Drakes Beach – Birding in Marin
DESCRIPTION:Birding In Marin\, Series 9 – Trip 9\nSaturday\, September 7th\, 2024\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration is required for this trip. Registration opens August 28 at 8AM. \nThis is the place to be for fall birding. Many migrants like hawks\, jaegers\, shorebirds and loons follow the coast south. Many songbirds migrate at night and seem to have a compass bearing in mind\, momma said “fly 15 degrees east of due south for 4 days.” Millions of recently fledged birds undertake a journey of 2\,000-4000 miles\, many without further parental guidance and without google. Some get lost. \nImagine that you are a dyslexic Connecticut Warbler hatched in early June in the boreal forest of north central Canada. It is your second night flight\, but you are flying west instead of east or south. You crossed some mountains so that you are flying sort of high\, morning is approaching so you descend thru the clouds and there is nothing but ocean water. A fog shrouded coast was not in your flight plan. You reverse directions\, trying to avoid the gulls and jaegers pursuing you\, when you see trees in the distance sticking out above the fog. Relief\, a place to land\, to rest\, and to find something to eat. These vagrant warblers and other eastern songbirds are the reasons that the tree islands of the Point Reyes peninsula are so popular with birders. \nWe intend to visit the nearby Fish Docks after the lighthouse then work our way back to Drake’s Beach for lunch and much more birding. \nDirections: Meet at 8:30 at the Light House parking area. The lighthouse parking area is at the west end of S F Drake. Going north thru Inverness follow Drake to the lighthouse. Allow 30 min from Inverness or 1.5 hour from San Rafael.
