About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for a leisurely, morning stroll to view shorebirds that frequent the Pond SF2! This will be an interpretive guided tour to learn about resident bird species, migratory birds and the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project. Many migratory waterfowl travel through the Bay Area along what is known as the Pacific Flyway migratory path.

This free event is open to all. This is a 1.4 mile round trip on an all-weather, accessible trail (one overlook has a 4-inch step). Parking and bathroom are on-site. Some binoculars will be available to borrow. This is a free event but registration is required.

Participants are encouraged to install the iNaturalist or eBird app prior to the event. Please create an account ahead of time so that observations can be uploaded during the event.

Event led by US FWS Volunteer Laurel Stell.

Both the EEC and Visitor Center are currently closed to the public; however, outside programs are still planned regularly, and the trails are open for the public to enjoy.
