Meeker Slough and Hoffman Marsh (Richmond)

Walk up to 2.5 miles along the Bay Trail from Meeker Slough to dog park along tidal marshes to look for ducks, shorebirds, waders, passerines, raptors, and Ridgway Rail on a 4 to 2+ foot tide.  Bring binoculars.  Heavy rain cancels.  There are restrooms only at dog park but you go to Shimada Park before our walk if needed. No benches along the way. Check out the birds on eBird:  https://ebird.org/barchart?r=L507756&yr=all&m=
