SUMMARY:Vaux Swifts at McNear Brick and Block
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 17\, 2022\n6:00 to 7:40 PM depending on the weather\nWith Rich Cimino\nRegister HERE for this field trip \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration opens September 7 at 8AM \nJoin other MAS members for an evening opportunity to witness Vaux’s Swifts during their fall migration through Marin\, which occurs in September and October. Dan McNear of McNear Brick & Block has kindly allowed Marin Audubon to access this remarkable site where three decommissioned chimneys provide an important communal evening roosting place for the Vaux’s swifts. \nWatching tens of thousands of Vaux’s swifts as they descend into the stacks just before night- fall is an unforgettable sight. At the peak of migration\, as many as 19\,000 swifts have been counted in one evening. However\, keep in mind that the number of swifts varies greatly from night to night and can range from a few hundred to thousands. Like everything else in birding\, there are no guarantees! \nSunset on the evening of our visit will be at 7:11 PM\, so plan on arriving on time to be ready. If the weather on the day of our trip is particularly cool or windy\, the swifts are likely to enter the stacks early\, so plan accordingly. Bring scopes\, binoculars\, and\, if desired\, folding chairs for your seating comfort. It can be chilly at dusk. Please stay with our group and do not enter any of the private areas on the property. Use soft voices and be sure to respect the privacy of local residents. \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 take the Central San Rafael exit. Head east on Third St./Point San Pedro Rd for about 3.5 miles. The brickyard will be on the right. The address is 1 McNear Brickyard Rd. Park as close to the San Pedro Road entrance as possible. Please do not drive to or park near the closed gate.
