SUMMARY:Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Cypress Grove Research Center
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 17\, 2024\n8:00 AM – 11:00 AM\nBirding with David Lumpkin\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration is required. Registration opens September 7th at 8AM. \nJoin avian ecologist David Lumpkin\, for a field trip to his work location\, Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Cypress Grove Research Center. All levels of birding enthusiasts are welcome on this easy two-mile walk. \nSightings on our walk to and along Tomales Bay at this time of year may include ocean birds if conditions are right (Jaegar’s come down the bay chasing the migrating terns around then)\, the occasional vagrant passerine\, and an influx of interior breeders not seen in the summer. Other migrating shorebirds and waterbirds may be seen as well as the usual mix of coastal prairie species. Rain does not cancel. \nDirections: Address for Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Cypress Grove Research Center is 20545 State Hwy 1\, Marshall\, CA 94940 \nGoing north on Hwy 1\, look for a green metal gate (which will be left open) on the Tomales Bay side and a Cypress Grove sign. The gate is roughly a 1/2-mile north of Hog Island Oysters in Marshall (and the turnoff to the Marshall-Petaluma Rd.) and well before Nick’s Cove. Drive down the dirt road to where it splits\, bear left\, and park at the visitor parking lot.

SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\n8:30 AM to 12:00 PM\nBirding with Mark Clark \nAll participants are welcome to join this trip. \nWe welcome bird enthusiasts of all levels\, especially beginning birders\, to join leader Mark Clark on our monthly walk around the ponds at Las Gallinas.  On our search we’ll be looking for waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors\, rails and swallows. With fall migration underway\, shorebirds are arriving from their nesting grounds and we are likely to spot some interesting species\, so come assist in our search. \nThe packed dirt paths around the ponds are wide\, flat and easy to navigate. Heavy rain cancels \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101\, exit at Smith Ranch Rd. Drive east on Smith Ranch Rd. toward McInnis Park. Turn left immediately after crossing the railroad tracks and drive about 0.5 mile through the LGVSD gates and into the parking lot at the end of the road.

SUMMARY:Abbotts Lagoon and the Inverness Tennis Area - Birding in Marin
DESCRIPTION:Birding in Marin – Series 9\, Trip 10\nSaturday\, October 5th\, 2024\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration required for this trip. Registration opens on September 26th at 8:00 AM. \nAbbotts Lagoon on the Pacific Coast in the Point Reyes National Seashore is one of Marin’s premier birding locations\, sporting an eBird sum of 283 species. Fall migration south along the coast brings many birds to this area. Some that we hope to see include Ferruginous Hawk\, Baird’s and Pectoral Sandpipers\, Red-necked Phalaropes\, Lapland Longspur\, Horned Lark and Pipits. Hundreds of ducks of a dozen species\, geese\, herons\, Peregrines and Ospreys are also likely visitors. Plus\, you get some exercise; out and back is about 2 miles (some in sand). Pack a lunch for a picnic on the beach and bring a couple of layers for the fresh ocean air and help us spot a rarity. \nAfter leaving Abbotts Lagoon\, we plan to stop along Tomales Bay near the Inverness Tennis club to look for Pine and Alder woodland birds. A surprising number of species have been seen here and there is a nice little beach where we usually find several kinds of gulls. \nDIRECTIONS: From Point Reyes Station on Highway 1 go just south of town\, right turn onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd\, follow that thru Inverness up over Inverness ridge into the Point Reyes National Seashore then go north on Pierce Point Road. The Abbotts Lagoon parking lot is on the left\, in about 3 miles. Car Pool if you can\, allow 1.5 hours from San Rafael.

SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands | October
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 9\, 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 September 29 at 8 AM \nJoin William and David for this fourth 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.
