SUMMARY:MDBA Field Trip -- Point Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Point Reyes is one of the premier birding locations in Northern California and a renowned spot for finding rarities during migration—such as the Prairie Warbler pictured above (image by Beth Branthaver). MDBA visits at least twice a year; on our spring trip\, we hope to observe northbound migrants as well as resident birds in their finest breeding plumage. \nThe exact itinerary will depend on the weather\, but after checking Drakes Beach and the lagoon behind it\, we will likely visit the Lighthouse area and the “fish docks.” After lunch\, we may walk down the Avenue of Cypresses to the historic RCA building. \nPlease bring water and lunch\, as this area is remote. The weather at the Point is highly changeable; bring warmer clothing than you think you’ll need—ensuring you include a windproof layer—as well as sun protection. \nTrail Rating: 2 — up to a mile total walk\, almost entirely on paved roads but with some moderate grade.\nElevation Change: 100 ft\nLeader: Matt Tarlach\, mdbafieldtrips@gmail.com\nMeet: Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center\, Drake’s Beach\nGPS: 38.027828257127936\, -122.96201741318059\nDirections: Depending on your starting point\, take the best route to San Rafael and go North on US 101. From 101\, take Lucas Valley Road to Nicasio. At the reservoir\, turn left. Follow signs to Point Reyes Station\, and when you get to town turn left onto US-1. After passing through town (the Bovine Bakery is a tasty stop for breakfast pastries)\, turn right from US-1 onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd and follow it for 15 miles to Drakes Beach Road. \nDue to limited parking\, this trip is limited to 12 participants. Carpooling is encouraged! \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/point-reyes-registration-1987575551980 \n(Prairie Warbler photo by Beth Branthaver)
