2026
California is undertaking its very first statewide breeding bird atlas from 2026 thru 2030, and Ohlone Audubon Society is one of the founding partners. To help promote this massive effort, from June 4 thru 7, partner organizations will be hosting field trips and educational events. OAS will be providing two field trips during this period, looking for breeding birds, and educating birders about why the atlas is so important for science and conservation.
Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park
Thursday, June 4, 9:00am – noon
Leader: Bob Toleno
The willows along the creek that runs through the canyon at RRRP provide rich nesting habitat for many species, including Wilson’s Warbler, Western Warbling Vireo, Black-headed Grosbeak, and Pacific Wren. We’ll walk about 1.5 miles along a gently sloping trail that follows the creek. This trip is part of the Caliifornia Bird Atlas Big Weekend event, so our focus will be on detecting nesting birds. The trip is limited to 20 participants; reserve your spot by using the “Register” button above!
Directions: Take I-580 W toward Oakland to Hwy 13 toward Berkeley. Take Exit 1 toward Redwood Rd, continue straight at the stop sign onto Mountain Blvd, then make a right onto Redwood Rd. Continue up over the hill about 4 miles and make a left into the park. Drive all the way to the last parking lot, Canyon Meadow Staging Area, where we’ll meet.
