| Organization: | Marin Audubon Society |
| Location: | Lake Lagunitas |
| Date/Time: | Saturday, March 6, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm |
| Description: | Come join us for a morning's birding in this interesting lake area of the Mt Tamalpais Watershed. The local birds will be singing and a few Spring arrivals may be on the scene. Some of the Winter residents may be singing before they leave. Expect to see a good variety of birds including Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Bewick's Wren, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Cedar Waxwing, several species of woodpeckers such as Acorn, Downy, Nuttall's and possibly Pileated and some raptors like Red-shouldered Hawk and Osprey patrolling overhead. Various lake species may be seen such as Hooded or Common Merganser, Ring-necked Duck, Bufflehead and Ruddy Duck and if we are really lucky, a Bald Eagle at Bon Tempe Lake harassing the Ospreys for their fish! This is a fee area: $8 per car. To carpool, meet in Fairfax by the Java Hut (across from the P.O.) at the west end of Albertson's on Center Boulevard at 8:30 AM. Otherwise meet the group in the Lake Lagunitas parking lot at 9:00 AM. From Hwy 101 in Greenbrae, go west on Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Fairfax and turn onto Broadway (which parallels S.F.D.) From there turn left onto the Fairfax-Bolinas Rd, follow up the mountain, take another left onto Sky Oaks Rd which leads to the lakes. After you have paid the entrance fee at the Pay Station (small notes for machine) continue approx. 1 1/2 miles to the Lake Lagunitas parking area. Bring water and snacks. Steady rain cancels. Confirm with Helen Lindqvist (415) 789-0703. |
