SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Sanitary District (LGVSD)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 4\, 2024\n8:30 AM to 12:00 PM\nBirding with Sande and Bob Chilvers \nNo registration required.  All participants are welcome to join this trip. \nJoin old friends and meet new ones on our regularly scheduled walks on the first Thursday of the month at Las Gallinas. We welcome bird enthusiasts of all levels\, especially 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. \nWith overwintering birds present\, we are likely to spot some interesting species\, so come assist in our search. 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.
