SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon & Hawk Hill
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 5\, 8am – 1pm\nLeader: Bob Toleno\nbo*@****no.com\n\nJoin us in the Marin Headlands for fall migration. We’ll start the morning at Rodeo Lagoon\, birding the willows on the south side\, mostly looking for songbird migrants and rarities. We may also check the north side of the lagoon\, if we have time. At around 11am\, as the day warms up\, we’ll drive a short distance to Hawk Hill to spend some time scouring the sky for migrating raptors.\n\nOverlooking the Golden Gate Bridge\, Hawk Hill sits near the southernmost end of the Marin County peninsula. Late September is the peak of raptor migration\, and because they prefer not to fly over water\, the peninsula acts as a “funnel” to concentrate them over this point. 17 different species have been documented migrating over Hawk Hill\, including some not usually seen near the coast\, like Swainson’s\, Ferruginous\, and Broad-winged Hawks\, and even the occasional Prairie Falcon. Bring water\, sunscreen\, and a scope if you have one. We’ll watch the raptors fly out over the Golden Gate. Many of the birds will be distant\, but leaders will help teach you how to ID raptors by shape. \n \nDirections: Take the Richmond Bridge to Hwy 101 south\, then exit on Alexander Rd (exit 442). Make a left on Bunker Rd\, go through the tunnel\, drive 2 miles\, then make a left on Field Rd\, where you’ll immediately see a parking lot. Make sure not to park in the 30-minute limit spaces.

SUMMARY:Big Break Regional Shoreline
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 18\, 9am – noon\nLeader: Bill Hoppes \nho********@***il.com\nBig Break Regional Shoreline has an excellent mix of habitats. First off\, it has one of East Bay Regional Park District’s Visitors Centers as well as an excellent 3-D model of the SF Bay and Delta. We will first visit the fishing platform that has excellent views of the “Big Break” and the Carquinez Strait. After that\, we will follow trails that edge willow runs\, grasslands and sloughs. Birding is always good here and we have good chances to see anything from Sandhill Cranes to White-faced Ibis to our own White-tailed Kite. Bring a spotting scope\, if you have one. \n\n\nDirections: Take I-880 north to CA-24 east to I-680 north to CA-242 north to CA-4 east to CA-160 toward Sacramento. After half a mile\, exit on Main St and make a right\, then make a left on Big Break Rd.

SUMMARY:Hayward Regional Shoreline: Longspurs and Shorebirds
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 26\, 2024\, 8:30am – 11am\nLeader: Bob Toleno\n\nIn mid-autumn\, very large grassy fields around the Bay Area can attract migrating grassland birds\, like pipits\, meadowlarks\, and most exciting of all\, longspurs. At Hayward Shoreline\, the tiny hill known to birders as “Mount Trashmore” is one of the best places to see these birds.\n\nWe’ll meet at 8:30 and walk out to Hayward Landing first to scope through the shorebirds there. Marbled Godwits and Willets should be numerous\, and we may even see something more unusual\, like a Surfbird or Ruddy Turnstone. After that\, we’ll walk the grass of Mount Trashmore\, listening and looking for Lapland Longspurs\, or maybe even a rarer longspur or a Snow Bunting\, if we’re extremely lucky.\n\nDirections: Exit I-880 at Winton Ave. and head west all the way to the end. Meet at the paved parking lot inside the gate (not the dirt lot outside the gate). A restroom is available at that lot. Rain cancels.

SUMMARY:Extremes of Inyo County Tour 2027
DESCRIPTION:Extremes of Inyo County Tour\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nMay 23 – 28\, 2027\nThis popular trip is happening for the third year in a row! \nOn the southeast flank of the Sierra Nevada\, Inyo County spans a huge range of habitats and elevations\, and offers some of the best inland birding in California. This tour explores those extremes\, from moist fir and aspen forests in the Sierra Nevada to the dry bristlecone pine forest of the White Mountains\, from the rich lowland riparian areas of the Owens Valley to the natural and artificial oases of the driest desert on the continent\, Death Valley. \nBreeding birds we’ll see on this trip include Gambel’s Quail\, Black Swift\, Black-backed Woodpecker\, Brown-crested Flycatcher\, Plumbeous Vireo\, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay\, Juniper Titmouse\, Verdin\, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher\, Cactus Wren\, LeConte’s Thrasher\, Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch\, Black-throated Sparrow\, Scott’s Oriole\, and Lucy’s Warbler. \nBesides just breeding birds\, late May is prime time to find migrants\, especially vagrants from eastern North America. As nocturnal migrants fly over the deserts\, when the sun rises\, the artificial and natural oases act as magnets for these hungry birds. Birders from all around California go to Death Valley each spring and fall to experience this phenomenon. \nThe cost will be $975 per person for a shared room\, $1\,225 for a single. This will be a caravan-style trip\, and carpooling will be facilitated. Limit 10 participants. This tour sold out the past two years! Sign up below if you’re interested. \nInyo County Itinerary – 2027

SUMMARY:Southeast Arizona - Monsoon Season in the Sky Islands
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nJuly 31 – August 8\, 2027\n \nIn the southeast corner of Arizona\, a number of tiny mountain ranges rise up out of the desert\, giving the region its nickname: “The Sky Islands.”  In the summer\, when the intermittent monsoon rains fall and create a “second spring\,” this region becomes a biodiversity hotspot. This tiny area hosts many bird species that can’t be seen anywhere else in the US\, and should be on every birder’s bucket list.\n \nThis eight-day tour will explore four of those ranges: Santa Catalina\, Santa Rita\, Huachuca\, and Chiricahua Mountains. Up to 15 species of hummingbird can be seen at this time of year\, including Rivoli’s\, Berylline\, Violet-crowned\, and Lucifer Hummingbirds\, plus Blue-throated Mountain-gem. Other regional specialties we’ll search for: Montezuma Quail\, Inca Dove\, Zone-tailed Hawk\, Coppery-tailed Trogon\, Greater Pewee\, Thick-billed Kingbird\, Mexican Jay\, Mexican Chickadee\, Bridled Titmouse\, Olive Warbler\, Rufous-winged Sparrow\, Five-striped Sparrow\, Chihuahuan Meadowlark\, Grace’s Warbler\, Red-faced Warbler\, and Varied Bunting. Some wonderful night birds we might see include Buff-collared Nightjar\, Mexican Whip-poor-will\, Elf Owl\, and Whiskered Screech-Owl.\n \nExact costs are TBD\, but probably about $2\,500-2\,700 per person for shared room and about $500 more for a single. Costs include all lodging\, food\, and transportation while on the tour (but not including flights to and from Tucson). Maximum tour size of 9; minimum 7. Sign up below if you’re interested.
