Fort Mason (SF)

Meet in front of the Community Garden to explore several different habitats in this compact part of GGNRA. The focus will be looking for late nesting birds and possibly some early migrating or dispersing birds.  The garden will have a variety of land birds, usually including Hooded Orioles. We’ll also scan Aquatic Park for water birds.   Restroom in meadow, ample parking if there is no race on the waterfront (also easily accessible by transit). Most of the walk is flat, on mostly paved walkways, but there is one short steep descent to the waterfront. Benches are in the garden for resting if needed. Heavy rain cancels.

Leader: David Assmann, david_assmann@yahoo.com
