SUMMARY:Point Reyes Lighthouse to Drakes Beach - Birding in Marin
DESCRIPTION:Point Reyes Lighthouse to Drakes Beach – Birding In Marin – Series 8\, Trip 9\nSaturday 9/2/2023\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration is required for this trip. Registration opens August 23 at 8AM. \nThis is the place to be for fall birding. Many migrants like hawks\, jaegers\, shorebirds and loons follow the coast south. Many songbirds\, migrate at night and seem to have a compass bearing in mind\, momma said to fly “15 degrees east of due south for 4 days.” Millions of recently fledged birds undertake a journey of 2-4000 miles without a google assistant and many without further parental guidance. Some get lost. \nImagine that you are a dyslexic Connecticut Warbler hatched in early June in the boreal forest of north central Canada. It is your second night flight\, you are flying west instead of east or south\, you crossed some mountains so that you are flying sort of high\, morning is approaching so you descend thru the clouds and there is nothing but water. A fog shrouded coast was not in your flight plan. You reverse directions\, trying to avoid the gulls and jaegers pursuing you\, when you see trees miles away on a point sticking above the fog. Relief\, a place to land\, to rest\, and to find something to eat. These vagrant warblers and other eastern songbirds are the reasons that the tree islands of the Point Reyes peninsula are so popular with birders \nWe intend to visit the nearby Fish Docks after The Light house then work our way back to Drake’s Beach for lunch and much more birding. \nDirections: Meet at 8:30 at the Lighthouse parking area. The Lighthouse parking area is at the west end of S F Drake. Going north thru Inverness follow Drake to the Lighthouse. Allow 30 min from Inverness or 1.5 hour from San Rafael.

SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (LGVSD)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 7\, 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.

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.
