Leader: Sonoma Land Trust Docent Bird Guides

Description: Each year, hundreds of thousands of birds migrate to the San Francisco Bay estuary and stay for the winter. These include many species of shorebirds, including the Willet, Greater Yellowlegs, Long-billed Curlew, Least Sandpiper, Western Sandpiper and Dunlin, which are commonly seen at Sears Point at this time of year. We will join Sonoma Land Trust’s docent bird guides for a walk along the tidal marshlands to observe these and many other bird species who use this rich habitat with its abundance of food.

Bring water, lunch, appropriate clothing and boots. No RSVP required.

After lunch, we have the option of going on to Schollenberger Park in Petaluma.

Directions: Meet at the parking area on Reclamation Road just south of the Lakeville Hwy and Hwy 37 intersection.
