Hayward Shoreline Bike and Bird (Hayward)

It’s still early for ducks, but come look for young Stilts, Avocets and maybe Snowy Plovers, returning shorebirds in alternate (breeding) plumage, raptors and a few passerines on this shoreline ride.   We will ride  north from Hayward Regional Shoreline Center to San Lorenzo Creek or farther, depending on how much we see, for at least 10 miles round trip.  The Bay Trail at this ride start is unpaved, so be comfortable on a packed dirt trail for this ride.

Bring binoculars, snacks, lunch and water; we won’t pass places to buy.  Bicycle helmets required.  Rain or smoke cancels.
