SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 20\, 2023\nBirding with William Legge and David Wiechers\n7:30/8:30 AM to noon **See Notes Below\nRegister HERE for this field trip \nRegistration required for this trip. Registration opens on September 10 at 8 AM \nJoin William and David for this second 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 Parasitic Jaeger\, migrating shorebirds and migrant passerines. We will begin the morning with a Sea Watch from Rodeo Beach at 7:30 AM. Those arriving later may join us at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. \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.

SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (LGVSD)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday October 5th\, 2023\n8:30 AM to noon\nBirding with Sande and Bob Chilvers  \nNo registration required.  All participants are welcome to join this trip. \nJoin old friends and meet new ones as we resume our regularly scheduled walks on the first Thursday of the month at Las Gallinas. We especially welcome beginning birders on this leisurely walk around the ponds. Special thanks to Bob and Sande Chilvers for volunteering once again to lead our monthly walks in search of waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors\, and shorebirds. Among other birds\, we will see various species of rails\, swallows and teals. With fall migration underway\, we are likely to spot some interesting species\, so come assist in our search.  \nWe welcome bird enthusiasts of all levels. We all help each other to find and identify the birds\, and there are usually several experienced birders to assist. You don’t even have to arrive on time because we spend the first 30-60 minutes studying the birds around the first pond\, and our group is easy to find.  \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. Meet the group by the bridge just past the parking lot. There is an outhouse in the parking area for public use or you can use the bathrooms at nearby McInnis Park.

SUMMARY:Abbott’s Lagoon and the Inverness Tennis Area - Birding in Marin
DESCRIPTION:Birding in Marin – Series 8\, Trip 10\nSaturday\, October 7\, 2023\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 27 at 8:00 AM \nAbbott’s 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 3 miles (some in sand) and Jim likes to do a full 5-mile loop. So 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. \nTo help bolster our participant’s species lists to our yearly goal of 200\, 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 ABBOTT’s Lagoon parking lot is on the left in about 3 miles. Carpool if you can\, allow 1.5 hours from San Rafael.
