FULL Saturday, September 20, 2008 Moss Landing and Moonglow Dairy
9 am-3 pm. Bring a field lunch, plenty of liquids, and layered clothing. Elkhorn slough is a magnificent wildlife- seeking destination. We will bird Moss Landing Harbor, adjacent Monterey Bay and view upper reaches of the slough from Moonglow…a birder-friendly dairy. Lunch at Phil’s Fish emporium is an adventure of its own and we will check-out Zumdowski Pond before leaving for home. Meet at 9 AM on Jetty Road (at the first curve) west off Highway One. We will finish in the Moss Landing area by 3 PM.
Cost: $50.00 per person.
FULL Saturday, October 18, 2008 Marin Headlands
9 am-3 pm. Mid October is a fine time for birding the Marin Headlands. Most wintering species will have arrived and some fall migrants should still be lingering. If the weather is right, a vigil on “Hawk Hill” can be excellent with many passing raptors representing a nice variety of species. A larger percent of these will be adult birds compared with youngsters earlier in the season. Unfortunatally, we could get “fogged-out” from the top of the hill but, more likely in mid-October it will be Indian Summer…calm, clear and warm. Meet at 9 AM at the footbridge across from the fire station near the beach-end of Rodeo Lagoon. We will finish around 3 PM somewhere in the headlands. Bring a field lunch, plenty of liquids, and a pack to carry it in. Dress for the weather and always bring a coat a hat and gloves for the unique coastal weather.
Cost $50.00 per person.
