SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 23\, 2025\n7:30 AM to 12:00 PM ** Please note start times below\nBirding with William Legge & David Wiechers\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration is required for this trip. Registration opens April 13 at 8 AM. \nWith spring migration underway\, we’ll be looking out for migrant wildfowl\, shorebirds\, grebes\, loons and 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. 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.

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.
