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 and the ducks and shore birds are all back in Marin! We can expect green-winged teal, northern shovelers, American avocets, yellowlegs, and more. 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.)" (Click here for a list of species that can be found in this area).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.
