After spending a good part of the fall meandering around Southern Marin and Mount Tam, this week we'll head north to the Novato area and do some birdwatching on a portion of the Marin County Open Space lands. Here's Wendy's description of this outing: "This is a wonderful birding area! I’ll bring a spotting scope, but bring binoculars if you have them. (If you don’t have any, I have extras you can share.)"Directions to trailhead: Take Highway 101 and exit on Atherton Avenue in Novato. Go east, until Bugeia Lane splits left and Atherton goes right. Take Bugeia which becomes Bahia and park at the end of the street.
Driving time from College of Marin: 35 minutes. No restrooms.
Weather forecast: As of Wednesday, November 12th, the National Weather Service forecast for Novato on Tuesday, November 18th was mostly sunny, with a high near 67. (Click here for an updated forecast).
