Join a Refuge biologist for a leisurely morning stroll to view shorebirds that frequent the Pond SF2! This will be an interpretive guided tour to learn about resident bird species, migratory birds and the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project. Many migratory waterfowl are traveling through the Bay Area from October through January along what is known as the Pacific Flyway migratory path. This free event is open to all, but registration is required. Register here.

As we celebrate the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration's 20th anniversary, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge's 51st, and World Conservation Day, you can come explore a Menlo Park hidden gem for migratory shorebirds and nesting waterbirds!

You'll take a leisurely stroll with Wildlife Biologist Rachel Tertes along a Ravenswood pond with bird nesting islands just south of Dumbarton Bridge. You'll view a variety of waterbirds, including nesting terns and early visitors from the fall shorebird migration, and learn about the Restoration Project.
