All-day trip limited to 12 participants – priority given to those with some birding experience but unfamiliar with common winter birds of the Pacific coast and/or with birding at Bodega Bay, a world-class birding location. Harbor mudflats, ocean beach, and rocky headland for ducks, grebes, loons, gulls and shorebirds in one compact area – Bodega Bay, Harbor and Head, and Doran Beach.
Winter weather can be surprisingly good, but be prepared for cold and wet with layers, hat and gloves. Only major wind or rainstorm will cancel the trip. Easy walks and good bird photo opportunities around the harbor. All participants should be vaccinated.
Contact leader Chris Dunford [530-753-9073; christopher.j.dunford at gmail.com] to reserve a seat and for details of lunch, transport options and meeting time/location. From Davis, a two-hour drive each way; you should be back by 6 pm.
