FIELD TRIP - MOSS LANDING AND MONTEREY AREA

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17
6:30 a.m. – ALL DAY
Meet at: Stanislaus County Library parking lot 1500 I Street, Modesto, CA
Leaders: John Fulton, John Harris, Xavier Sandoval

This all-day field trip provides an opportunity to see shorebirds, waterbirds and passerines along the Monterey Bay coastline. 


We’ll start at Moss Landing State Beach and harbor, then visit other nearby sites depending on pre-trip reports and scouting. Some potential additional sites include Elkhorn Slough, Zmudowski State Beach, and Laguna Grande Regional Park. We will also look for any rarities reported nearby. Bring a lunch, water, and be prepared for variable conditions including wind and fog. We will finish in time for an early dinner in the Moss Landing area before driving back to Modesto. Carpooling is encouraged. RSVP suggested to John Harris at jhh.birder@gmail.com
