Description: Miller Knox Regional Shoreline is a SF Bay Area birding hotspot located in the Point Richmond District of Richmond with a storied past and panoramic bay views. Its diverse habitats include: a saltwater lagoon, parkland, a small wooded area and the bay shoreline. We are likely to see a wide array of ducks, waterbirds, shorebirds and songbirds that make Miller Knox their winter home. For an Illustrated Checklist of birds we might see: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L593834/illustrated-checklist Please note that many of the excellent photos were taken by one of our group’s co-leaders Melani King.

Beginning birders are welcome! 

The terrain is flat for the most part and paved in some parts with irregular and rocky terrain in others. Restrooms and water fountains are available in several locations. It can be windy and cold on the water so wear layered clothing. Heavy rain cancels.
