We will be birding multiple locations for this MDBA Martinez Shoreline field trip, looking for shorebirds, waders, waterfowl, gulls, raptors and others. Areas will include Waterbird Preserve (overlooking McNabney Marsh), TransMontaigne Pipeline, Mococo Marsh and Martinez Regional Shoreline. Precise driving directions for each location (with mileage) will be handed out when we gather in the Waterbird Regional Preserve parking lot. Walkie-talkies for each vehicle will also be available.
Dress warmly, bring a lunch and drinks.
This trip is appropriate for birders of all experience levels. Beginners are especially welcome!
