About the event

Description: Calling all young birders! Whether you're a die-hard birder with your own eBird profile or just dipping your toe into the avian waters, you are invited to join in this field trip to Marina. Young birders and their supportive guardian(s) are invited to participate, free of charge, to help us discover what birds this park has to offer. Locke-Paddon Community Park has multiple habitats - marshy wetlands, chaparral, and an oak forest that is actively getting restored. 199 species of birds have been reported at this park via eBird! https://ebird.org/hotspot/L606387


We should be able to find nesting songbirds like Bushtit, Marsh Wren, and Black Phoebe, plus multiple raptor species like Red-shouldered Hawks, and Red-tailed Hawk. Other expected birds include woodpeckers, swallows, warblers and possibly a Lawrence's Goldfinch!


Trip leaders: Jeanette Johnston and Bill Hubick


Meet: 1:00 PM at the small parking lot near the roundabout at Seaside Court located HERE. There is free parking .


Trip Difficulty: We’ll traverse paved and unpaved trails, some which have a >5% slope. The trip will be approximately 1-mile in length.
