Trip is limited to 12 participants - Signups will be taken for 24 hours. Participants will be randomly
selected. The remainder will be put on standby status in case of
cancellations. Only registered people may attend.
Mark is asking that everyone who wishes to go on a field trip with him to
have an eBird account. It is free, easy, and serves a highly important role
in global citizen science. The eBird data is critical for countless research
projects that impact conservation and funding policies around the world. The
website also has amazing resources that can help you become a better and
more responsible birder.
Your registration requires your eBird user name on the form. Go to ebird.org/home to create your account.
Description: Explore Hardie Park and Cayucos Creek. We’ll start at Hardie Park looking for wintering songbirds. Then we will
walk to check the pool at the river mouth for gulls and shorebirds. It’s an
excellent location in winter to see Ruddy and Black Turnstones and
Surfbirds on the rocks to the north. We’ll walk a few hundred feet south
to the pier. The pier sometimes allows close looks at scoters, terns, and
sometimes Sooty Shearwaters. The road and trail are flat and we will walk
about a mile.
ADA Accessible: No
Experience Level: Intermediate to Advanced
