Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center (Hayward)
Saturday, July 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
July is the start of southbound shorebird migration, so early shorebirds should be coming through. The Least and Forster’s Tern colonies should still be active, and teenage American Avocets and Black-necked Stilts should be hanging around with their parents. We’ll walk from the interpretive center to the tern colonies and return—about 3 miles on wide, level roads. All skill levels welcome. Port-a-potty, but no water, available at start. The interpretive center should be open by the time we return and offers real restrooms and water, along with lots of interesting displays (http://www.haywardrec.org/150/Hayward-Shoreline-Interpretive-Center).

Directions: The H.A.R.D. Interpretive Center is near the end of Breakwater Ave. in Hayward. From westbound Hwy 92, exit Clawiter (last exit before the San Mateo Bridge), go straight across the Clawiter intersection, and make a left past the Union 76 station onto Breakwater Ave. Breakwater has recently been realigned, so in 0.3 miles, make a left to continue on Breakwater at the new intersection. The interpretive center is about 1 mile on your right (Breakwater dead ends just past the interpretive center, it’s hard to get lost).
