Description

The Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a haven for shorebirds. In honor of World Shorebirds Day, join the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society for a beginner- and family-friendly bird outing. We will discuss the wildlife refuge and provide an introduction to shorebirds and a few identification tips!

Other Considerations:

  • Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in.
  • ADA-compliant parking spaces, trails, and portable toilets are available on-site.
  • What to bring: Wear comfortable clothing, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes. Reusable water bottles are a huge plus and are a great step to reducing plastic pollution. If you have binoculars, a spotting scope, or a camera, you’re welcome to bring them! If not, we will have binoculars available to borrow.
  • If you need any more accommodations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
