SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 17\, 2021\n7:30 AM to noon\nWith William Legge and David Wiechers \nClick HERE to register for the field trip \nMid-November is a surprisingly active time for migrants at this Marin Headlands location\, as we search for scarcer late fall migrants including winter wildfowl\, loons\, grebes and passerine migrants. As always\, the weather will determine the focus of our search on the day.  With this ‘hotspot’ producing some memorable Marin rarities in recent Novembers\, including Tricolored Heron\, Scaly-breasted Munia and Rusty Blackbird\, almost anything is possible! We will begin the morning with a sea watch (most productive when onshore winds are blowing) and/or visible migration watch (most productive when offshore winds are blowing) at 7:30 AM. Those arriving later may join us at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon.  \nRegistration for this trip will be open starting on November 8 at 8:00 AM on the MAS website Field Trips page. There is a limit of 12 participants for this trip. There will not be a waiting list. No drop-ins\, please. All participants must be fully vaccinated. \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 Road to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end and meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach.

SUMMARY:Birding in Marin - Bahia (Horseshoe Pond & Rush Creek)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 12/04/21 from 8:30 to 2 PM – CLICK HERE to register for this field trip \nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin \nRegistration for this trip will be open starting on November 24 at 8:00 AM. There is a limit of 15 for this trip. There will not be a waiting list\, and no drop-ins allowed. All participants must be fully vaccinated.  \nThe Marin Audubon Society acquired and restored to tidal action the diked baylands around the residential Bahia neighborhood. As the ebbing tide exposes the mudflats thousands of shorebirds now descend to feed while on the flood tide hundreds of ducks and some gulls float\, forage and loaf about. The oak wooded ridge stretching from 101 to Bahia\, also saved from development by MAS\, holds Oak Titmice\, White-breasted nuthatch\, Hutton’s Vireo at least 4 woodpecker specie and many sparrows in the winter. It is always interesting and we have had Golden Eagles soaring above. \nThe horseshoe pond at the south east end of Topaz is a great place to look for wintering ducks. Goldeneyes\, Scaup\, Canvasbacks\, Buffleheads and Mergansers seem to like it and it has been Marin’s best place for Barrow’s Goldeneyes the last few years. \nAfter lunch we plan to take a look at the nearby Rush Creek area from the Airport Road which parallels the 101 freeway north of Atherton. So join Bob and Jim if you would like enjoy a day of birding and see about 80 species on the day. \nDirections: From 101 in north Novato take Atherton Avenue east\, take the Y left onto Bugeia which becomes Bahia Drive\, near the end at the bottom of the hill take a right onto Topaz\, follow Topaz to its end and park.
