All-day trip limited to 12 participants – priority given to those with some birding experience but unfamiliar with common late-summer birds of the Pacific coast and/or with birding at Bodega Bay, a world-class birding location. Harbor mudflats, ocean beach, and rocky headland for pelicans, three species of cormorant, Heermann’s Gulls, Elegant Terns, and shorebirds in one compact area – Bodega Bay, Harbor and Head, and Doran Beach.
Be prepared for cool temperatures, wind, and maybe fog, but can also be surprisingly warm in late summer. Easy walks and good bird photo opportunities around the harbor.
All participants should be vaccinated.
Contact leader Chris Dunford [530 753-9073; christopher.j.dunford at gmail.com] to reserve a seat and for details of lunch, transport options and meeting time/location. From Davis, a two-hour drive each way; you should be back by 6 pm.
