Join the search for migrating raptors and learn about banding efforts and raptor counts by Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO) docents! We will bird the lagoons before going up to the hawk watch site. At noon the staff gives a talk on their work and may demonstrate the actual banding. Carpool leaves El Nido Ranch Road at 8:00 AM. Meet in parking lot by upper Rodeo Lagoon at 9:00 AM. If driver knows San Francisco, use Fremont St/ Columbus Ave/Marina/Golden Gate Bridge, pass the Vista Point and take the Alexander Avenue exit. Turn right at the bottom of the exit and then left onto Bunker Road. Pass through the tunnel and continue to the parking lot on the right just before the bridge. Carry lunch and liquids. The walk up the hill is only a few hundred yards, but it is steep. Leader: Fred Safier, 925-937-2906. Category 2.
