Miller Knox Regional Shoreline (Richmond)

Leaders: Cheryl Foster (cherylafoster@gmail.com) and Cathy Bleier

Date: Saturday September 20 –  9:30 a.m. to  12:00 p.m.

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 hope to see a wide array of waterbirds, shorebirds and songbirds that
make Miller Knox their home. Beginning birders are welcome!
The terrain is flat and paved in some areas 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; layered clothing is recommended.
