Fort Mason (San Francisco)

Trip Leader: David Assmann, John Colbert, Erica Rutherford

Date: Sunday December 21 - 8 to 10 a.m.

Description: Meet in front of the Community Garden to explore several different habitats in this compact part of GGNRA. This is almost the beginning of winter, which means all our wintering species should be present, and the species count can be as high as 50. We'll explore Aquatic Park for Red-Breasted Mergansers and other ducks, grebes and loons. We'll also look for Black Turnstones on the shore. The garden and the Battery should have a variety of land birds, including warblers, thrushes, woodpeckers and sparrows. Restroom in meadow, ample parking if there is no race on the waterfront (also easily accessible by transit). Heavy rain cancels.

Limit: 15 participants max

Directions: Community Garden at Fort Mason (end of Franklin Street).
