Join us for the entire event or for whatever amount of time you can. This event is free for all ages and no RSVP is necessary.
BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ALL ARE WELCOME !!

Location: Entrance to the wetland habitat is at the east end of Industrial Way in Larkspur, but there is very limited parking at the site.

Parking: Parking is available in the parking lot behind the World Market Plaza Shopping Center at 2020 Redwood Highway. Access the parking lot by taking the road to the right of World Market. From the lot, take the packed dirt trail to the east, turn left on the main levee trail a short distance to the wetland habitat. There is also parking in the main shopping center parking lot.

Bring: We recommend layers and a hat for cool or warm conditions, and binoculars for bird spotting.

Volunteer to Count Vaux's Swifts
2024-09-05 19:00 - 2024-09-08 20:00
September begins the fall migration of Vaux’s Swift through Marin County
Marin Audubon and the Bay Area Vaux’s Swifts Working Group are expanding efforts to count Vaux’s Swifts and are seeking new volunteers with various abilities to join in the effort through this Workshop. This is part of a wide effort to understand the largely unknown movement and roosting patterns of Vaux Swifts.
We invite you to join us for this exciting citizen science opportunity!
Volunteers will engage with knowledgeable Vaux’s Swift counters/members of the Working Group who bring years of experience to share with newly-motivated birders. Volunteers will learn about and participate in refining the methods used to count these large congregations of Vaux’s Swifts and plan future counting activities.
The Workshop has two parts:
– Thursday, September 5th – 7PM – a meeting on Zoom at which you will hear an overview of the conditions at the overnight roost areas, efforts to count the swifts at this local site, and the various ways you can help.

Register HERE for this Zoom Workshop
