North Lake Golden Gate Park (San Francisco)

Leader: Joel Perlstein, (415) 317-5893, joelperl@earthlink.net

Date: Wednesday, April 8 -- 8:30 to 11:00 am 

Description: We will walk slowly around North Lake in Golden Gate Park and along some adjacent trails, looking for resident and over-wintering birds, on both land and water.  Total distance up to  1½ miles.  The trails around North Lake are level; there may be a little up and down hill hiking in the nearby woods.  The trails can be narrow.  We will meet at the south end of North Lake; at the bottom of the steps that lead down from John F Kennedy Drive, just west of its intersection with Chain of Lakes Drive.  There should be parking available along JFK Drive and there is a restroom on the north side of JFK just a bit west of where we will be meeting.  There will be some benches along the route, but only enough space for a few people to sit down at the same time.  All levels of birders welcome.  Please bring your binoculars.  Rain cancels.  

Limit: 8

Directions: Meet at Golden Gate Park, along JFK Drive, just west of Chain of Lakes Drive.
