SUMMARY:Young Birders Club @ Elsie Roemer Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary\nSHORELINE Dr\, Alameda\, California 94501 \nOur first MDAS Young Birder’s Club field trip of Fall 2019 will be to Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary in Alameda\, where we’ll catch the start of the annual southbound shorebird migration. Thousands of shorebirds come to the Bay Area to rest and refuel as they make their way further south on their migration. You’ll also see what has become a rare habitat in California\, mudflats and salt marsh\, which have been more than 90% destroyed due to people building on wetlands. \nThe Sanctuary has a great wooden walkway and pier from where we can see the birds. Bring water\, comfortable shoes\, and layered clothing. If you have a pair of binoculars\, and even better a spotting scope\, bring them. But if you don’t no worries\, we have extra. Parking and access is at Shoreline Dr & Broadway\, and at the Bayview Dr intersection with Broadway. Hope to see you there! \nYBC events are for birders 9-17 years old with accompanying adult. For more information\, contact youngbirders@mtdiabloaudubon.org or visit Young Birders on Facebook
