A birding field trip with the Mount Diablo Bird Alliance.

Lafayette Reservoir Parking

Monday, July 21, 6:30 to 9 PMDescription: Unwind after a hard day's work at the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir. Tucked into the hills between the coast and interior Contra Costa County, the reservoir's forested hills are home to many pine-oak residents like Spotted Towhees, Red-shouldered Hawks, and Band-tailed Pigeons. The iconic 100-year-old, 170-foot-tall outlet tower in the center of the reservoir attracts many cormorants and the marshes around the edge often harbor herons. We may even get lucky enough to see a flock of American White Pelicans.We'll walk the 3-mile, paved Lafayette Reservoir Trail that circles the reservoir to see what's out there.Parking is $2/hr or $7/day.Please factor in northbound and eastbound traffic when planning your departure.Trail Rating: 2 - Over 2 miles walking with a couple of short steep climbs.Leader: Elisa Fernandes-McDade (<a href="mailto:elisa.fernandesmcdade@gmail.com" title="mailto:elisa.fernandesmcdade@gmail.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">elisa.fernandesmcdade@gmail.com</a>)Meeting Point: Lafayette Reservoir parking lot(the northern end of the parking lot closer to the boathouse). 3849 Mount Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94563Directions: If you're coming from Walnut Creek, head south on I-680 South Then, take Exit 46A onto CA-24 West towards Oakland.
