Bodega Bay

Mt. Diablo Bird Alliance

A field trip with the Mount Diablo Audubon Society. Beginning birders are welcome!   https://mtdiabloaudubon.org/

Porto Bodega Marina

Why do we go all the way to Bodega Bay? To see loons close up – the Common, Pacific, and Red-throated species are all likely. To see Brant. To see Double-crested, Brandt’s and Pelagic cormorants side-by-side to strengthen your ID skills. This is a great place for birders of all levels and birders new to the Bay Area.We’ll meet at 9:30 am near the Porto Bodega Marina on Eastshore Road to see the birds that hang out there. Then we’ll look for birds along the Westshore side of the Harbor, and on the coast above the "Hole-in-the-Head." Finally we’ll head back, with a few brief stops, and explore Doran Beach Road on the other side of the harbor. There’s a $7 parking fee at Doran Regional Park. Be prepared for variable weather. Bring lunch, snacks, and liquids. There is a chemical toilet “porta-potty” at Porto Bodega Marina, pit toilets above the Hole in the Head, and restrooms with flush toilets at Doran Beach. For a comfort stop near the end of the drive out stop at Tides Wharf and Restaurant (on the shore side opposite the Inn at the Tides, 800 Highway 1), though the snack bar will probably be closed.Hike Rating: 1 - Easy, with little elevation changeL﻿eader: Maureen Lahiff, MLahiff@aol.com, 510-484-6529M﻿eet: Porto Bodega Marina, https://goo.gl/maps/SxWebctFy9ZDyUqP6Directions: Take US 101 north to Petaluma.
