Leader: Rusty Scalf   rscalf@sonic.net   520-495-5837 and Sam Zuckerman

Date: Sunday August 23 – 8 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m.

Description: Bring snacks, water and good walking shoes for this approximately 3 mile round trip hike. We will survey various habitats including coastal scrub, freshwater wetland, coastal dune, tidal lagoon and open ocean. At this date there is a lot of post breeding movement of terns, shorebirds and diving birds. We see Baird's Sandpiper on about half these outings; sometimes Snowy Plover, more often than not Red-necked Phalarope. We should be back to the parking lot by noon or 1 PM. 

The trail is narrow and uneven, and we will be walking on sand when we get to the beach. There is a pit toilet at the parking lot but no water. There is no cell service at the parking lot. Dress in layers for foggy or hot and sunny weather!

Trip limit: 18 people

Directions: Meet at the Abbotts Lagoon trailhead parking lot at 8 AM.
