SUMMARY:Birding Frank's Dump – High Tide
DESCRIPTION:Hayward Shoreline\, Winton Ave. Entrance \nFor a shorebird spectacle\, we will visit this site late in the day with the sun to our backs and birds congregating to avoid the high tide. Many of the returning shorebirds still have much of their breeding plumage. Some of these birds will stay the winter\, some will continue a southerly migration. Leave the Sycamore Valley carpool location at 3 PM\, then meet at the Winton Avenue entrance for Hayward Regional shoreline. From I-880\, exit Winton Avenue\, drive west 4.5 miles. Park near the trail head just before the parking lot gate. We will walk at least a mile to our viewing site. Bring a snack. Category 2.

SUMMARY:Birding Mt. Lassen
DESCRIPTION:If you are planning to participate in this MDAS birding trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park\, let the leader know ahead of time that you are coming. On Saturday morning we will meet at the Loomis Museum Parking lot in the Manzanita Lake area at 7:30 AM. For camping\, the Manzanita Lake Campground has Section D tents-only\, Sections B and D are non-reservable; Sections A and C are reservable. There are also a few sleep-only cabins at Manzanita Lake with a nearby communal bathhouse. There are several small motels and B&Bs outside the park; some birders in the past have stayed in Anderson and even Redding. You should make your reservations soon as they fill up quickly.

SUMMARY:Beaver Festival
DESCRIPTION:MDAS will be exhibiting at the 12th annual Beaver Festival\, which will be held on Saturday\, June 29\, from 11 am-4 pm in Susana Park\, located at Estudillo and Susana Street in Martinez. There will be live music\, wildlife booths\, beaver tours and children’s activities. Why should a birder make time for a beaver festival? Beavers help birds – increasing fish and insects and creating wetland habitat. The tools of curiosity\, community engagement\, and public outcry that saved the Martinez beavers can help Audubon as well.
