It parallels Mill Creek\, which creates a rich riparian habitat that flows from Mission Peak. In late April\, we hope to see migrants like Ash-throated Flycatcher\, Cassin’s Vireo\, migrating warblers\, as well as Rufous Hummingbird\, and maybe even a Calliope Hummingbird. Resident Rufous-crowned Sparrow should be singing\, and we’ll likely hear the song of the recently arrived Grasshopper Sparrow\, too. Lazuli Buntings and Black-headed Grosbeaks should be relatively abundant and singing on their breeding territories. We’ll walk about 1.5 – 2 miles on a paved road up the fairly gentle hill and then back again.  \nDirections: From I-880 S\, take Auto Mall Pkwy east\, then get on I-680 north for 2 miles\, exit on Mission Blvd\, turn right\, then turn left on Mill Creek Rd after just a couple blocks. Park on the street near the corner of Mill Creek Rd and Linmore Dr. \nThere are no restrooms\, so be sure to stop at the McDonalds or a gas station on Mission Blvd beforehand to use the facilities.  URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/mill-creek-road-fremont/ LOCATION:Mill Creek Road\, Fremond\, CA CATEGORIES:Field Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ohloneaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/7023522_medium_1554932375.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bob Toleno%2C Juli Chamberlin%2C%C2%A0& Kate Reed":MAILTO:birding@toleno.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250419T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250419T160000 DTSTAMP:20250324T214340Z CREATED:20250324T212941Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250324T214340Z UID:10000038-1745056800-1745078400@ohloneaudubon.org SUMMARY:Test Trip #2 DESCRIPTION:Nunc ac tortor non quam condimentum auctor.

Research has revealed that this rural setting provides habitat for nearly 150 bird species of which more than 65 are breeding birds. \nDirections/address: From Hwy 880 in Hayward\, take the Industrial Parkway exit and travel east to Mission Blvd. Make a right onto Mission Blvd. and travel one block to Garin Ave and then make a left. The park entrance is approximately one mile uphill\, address 1320 Garin Avenue\, Hayward.  URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/garin-regional-park-birding-by-ear/ LOCATION:Garin Regional Park\, 1320 Garin Ave\, \, Hayward\, CA\, 94544\, United States CATEGORIES:Field Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ohloneaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Garin.png ORGANIZER;CN="Maggie Clark &%C2%A0Bill Scoggins":MAILTO:maggieclark99@gmail.com  END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250412T053000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250412T083000 DTSTAMP:20250410T202738Z CREATED:20250410T202715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250410T202738Z UID:10000040-1744435800-1744446600@ohloneaudubon.org SUMMARY:Bay Point Regional Shoreline DESCRIPTION:“Secretive Marsh Birds Sunrise Saunter”  \nThis pre-dawn adventure will focus on finding California Black Rail\, Sora\, Virginia Rail and American Bittern. During our stroll along the one-mile\, flat Harrier Trail\, we will explore its namesake bird while enjoying views of kites\, shrikes\, shorebirds\, and wonderful waterfowl. We will use “Doc Quack’s” special access code to visit this newly restored marshland\, so you must be there by 5:30 am as all access gates will be locked at 0545. Dress in layers and bring light rain gear as needed. This is a wheelchair-accessible field trip. Pre-registration is required\, and all are welcome. Rain cancels the field trip. \nDirections: From Highway 4 in Bay Point\, exit at the Bay Point/San Marco Boulevard exit and go north onto Willow Pass Road\, towards the river. After about one-half mile\, turn left onto Port Chicago Highway. Proceed for about 1.25 miles and take McAvoy Road to the trail staging area on the left.  \nReservations required by 4/9/2025 to dr*******@*****ks.org  \n  URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/bay-point-regional-shoreline/ LOCATION:Bay Point Regional Shoreline\, McAvoy Road in Bay Point\, CA\, Bay Point\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Field Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ohloneaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/bay-point-shoreline.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="David %E2%80%9CDoc Quack%E2%80%9D Riensche":MAILTO:driensche@ebparks.org  END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250409T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250409T120000 DTSTAMP:20250410T202223Z CREATED:20250410T202223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250410T202223Z UID:10000039-1744189200-1744200000@ohloneaudubon.org SUMMARY:Sabercat Creek DESCRIPTION:Sabercat Creek trail follows a stream in Fremont with excellent riparian woodland in addition to many ornamentals. There are also grassy hillsides with sites for perching birds. We have a good chance to see both Allen’s and Anna’s Hummingbirds and have a five woodpecker day. Since we will be in the middle of Spring migration we should see great birds. We will start the trip from Old Mission Community Park where parking is plentiful and restrooms available. After a couple of blocks of street walking we will access the trail at its Pine Street entrance. Sabercat Creek has seen extensive excavations for fossils so there are many interpretive signs and even an online audio tour if you would rather listen to it than the birds. The trail is mostly level and paved the entire way. Total length is 3.2 miles but since it is an out-and-back\, you can turn around whenever you wish. \nDirections: Old Mission Community Park is at 1000 Pine Street in Fremont. Heading south on I680\, take the first Mission Blvd exit. Turn left on Mission and then right on Pine. The park will be at the intersection of Pine and Ibero Way. \nFrom I-880 take the Auto Mall Parkway/Durham Road exit. Head east on Durham Road then left on Paseo Padre Parkway. Make a right on Camino del Campo and then left on Ibero Way to the park.  URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/sabercat-creek/ LOCATION:Sabercat Creek\, 43851 Ibero Way\, Fremont\, CA\, 94539\, United States CATEGORIES:Field Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ohloneaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Unknown.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Kathy Robertson & Pat Gordon":MAILTO:katbirdca@aol.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250205T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250205T190000 DTSTAMP:20250215T213114Z CREATED:20250204T204939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250215T213114Z UID:10000006-1738776600-1738782000@ohloneaudubon.org SUMMARY:Owling in Garin Regional Park DESCRIPTION: February 1\, 2\, 3\, 4\, and 5\, 5:30pm – 7pm \n\n\n\nLeader: Bob Toleno     RSVP: bo*@****no.com \n\n\n\nThough highly sought after\, owls are often the most difficult birds for us to see\, for the obvious reason that most are typically only out after dark. On this trip\, we’ll take a short walk (less than a mile over flat ground) into Garin Regional Park\, with the primary goal of finding Western Screech-Owls\, and getting a flashlight on them so all participants can get a look. February is when they’re starting their nesting cycle\, so they should be active and vocal as soon as it gets dark. We will likely also hear Great Horned and American Barn Owls. \n\n\n\nThese trips will be limited to only FIVE participants per outing. You MUST RSVP to bo*@****no.com and specify which date you would like to go. \n\n\n\nTry to have a back-up date in mind\, also\, in case the date you choose is already full. The meeting location and directions will be provided via email before the trip. If all  trips fill up\, there will be a waiting list. Any rain or wind at all will cancel an outing\, though I will do my best to reschedule cancelled trips\, if possible.  \n\n\n\nLocation Owling in Garin Regional Park URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/owling-in-garin-regional-park/ CATEGORIES:Field Trips ORGANIZER;CN="bob@toleno.com":MAILTO:bob@toleno.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250125T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250125T120000 DTSTAMP:20250215T222028Z CREATED:20250120T230945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250215T222028Z UID:10000005-1737795600-1737806400@ohloneaudubon.org SUMMARY:North Livermore/Springtown DESCRIPTION:Contact ka*******@*ol.com \n\n\n\n We will walk along the Arroyo\, where we can expect wading birds such as stilts and egrets\, ducks\, incl. Cinnamon Teal\, and many wintering and resident songbirds. Rails and snipe are possible. The open fields are productive for raptors – Golden Eagle and Ferruginous Hawk have been seen here. Wide\, level trails make walking easy. Bring your scope if you have one. Heavy rain cancels.  \n\n\n\nDirections: Take I-580 east to Exit 54 for First Street/Springtown Blvd; turn left onto First Street\, which becomes Springtown Blvd. Turn right (east) on Bluebell Dr. and continue about a mile and a half to Marlin A. Pound Neighborhood Park. We will meet at the bridge crossing the Arroyo. Park on either side of the street. No restrooms are on our route\, so you may wish to make a pit stop before arriving at the meeting point.  \n\n\n\nLeaders: Kathy Robertson & Karen Kramer  \n\n\n\nLocation North Livermore/Springtown URL:https://ohloneaudubon.org/event/north-livermore-springtown/ LOCATION:North Livermore/Springtown\, 2010 Bluebell Dr\, Livermore\, California\, 94551 CATEGORIES:Field Trips END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
