FIELD TRIP: Montaña de Oro, Bluff Trail and Campground
DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TIME: 9:00 am - 11:30 am
LEADERS: Claudia Freitas and Karen Watts
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.
Description: Join Claudia and Karen to explore the multiple habitats of the rugged coastal part of Montana De Oro. The walk will follow the sea-bluffs along the south shore of Spooner’s Cove, through coastal sage scrub and south along the rocky coast looking for rock loving shorebirds, sea ducks and raptors. The walk continues along Islay Creek’s riparian habitat into the pine-studded campgrounds to observe passerines, woodpeckers and birds that call our coastal scrublands home. This is a gentle walk of about 1-2 miles along flat trails and paved road.
ADA Accessible: Yes
Experience Level: All Levels Welcome
