SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Rodeo Lagoon\, Marin Headlands\nWednesday\, July 29\, 2026\n7:30 AM to 12:00 PM\nBirding with William Legge and David Wiechers \nREGISTER HERE \nRegistration is required for this trip. Registration opens on Wednesday\, July 15 at 8 AM\nLimit of 15 participants for this trip. \nJoin William and David for the first of five fall migration field trips at Rodeo Lagoon. This is their long-time “patch\,” which never seems to disappoint birders with daily variations in species and the chance of an unusual sighting. On this July trip\, we will be targeting northward bound Heermann’s Gulls and Elegant Terns\, and hopefully the first southbound migrating shorebirds\, and early western passerine migrants. We will begin with a Sea Watch at 7:30 AM from Rodeo Beach. Those arriving later may join us at 8:00 AM for a circuit of the lagoon\, about 2-3 miles of light to moderate hiking. 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 ($3) via the onsite ‘tip-jar’ as a thank you 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 footbridge over the channel to the beach or join MAS birders with scopes along the nearby beach area.
