Abbott’s Lagoon Pt Reyes National Seashore (Marin)

We will bird the coastal scrub, lagoons, and ocean. We hope to find migrant shorebirds and resident Snowy Plovers. Abbott’s Lagoon has historically been good for Baird’s Sandpiper and we may get lucky. Meet at 9 am at the Abbott’s Lagoon parking lot (bathrooms but no water). Bring scope, liquids, lunch.  Plan on walking 4 miles round-trip; relatively flat but trail consists partially of sand. Prepare for wind.

This trip is free but advance registration is required. The exact meeting spot and directions will be provided to registered participants. Registration will open two weeks before the trip  and close at 4 p.m. on Thursday, August 18.

Leader: Rusty Scalf, 510-495-5837, rscalf@sonic.net
