Loch Lomond Bird Walk
February 15, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
This walk is now fully booked. Take a look at our Walks and Talks page for more upcoming events.
Join leaders Jack and Angela from Wild Birds Unlimited for a late fall walk at San Rafael’s Loch Lomond Marina. We’ll be particularly looking out for rocky shoreline birds like oystercatchers, black turnstones, and spotted sandpipers, but we’re also certain to see various ducks and other waterbirds as we explore this bayfront trail. To learn more about the birds of Loch Lomond, see our full site profile. We will be walking about a mile at a very slow pace along a level trail; restroom available at trailhead.
Reserve your space by selecting your number of participants and clicking on “Confirm RSVP” above.

Yes, this walk is currently fully booked. To be put on the waitlist behind Elizabeth, anyone can post here with their number of requested spots (your email will be visible to me without putting it in the body of the message) and I will contact you privately should more spaces become available.
If I can’t join the official group, can you tell me where I’d be most likely to see a black oystercatcher, the next time I’m in the neighborhood and wanting to use my new Nikon Monarchs, which I love?
They’re easy to find at Loch Lomond! The Marina has a short path, maybe half a mile, going out on the jetty surrounding the marina. Go all the way to the end and look at the rocks and wooden pilings. They are almost always there, often in company with black turnstones in winter.
