Anthony Chabot Regional Park offers a variety of habitats for bird-watching – riparian, grassland, oak savannah, marshy shoreline, and open water. We'll look for flocks of wintering residents – kinglets, sparrows, thrushes, woodpeckers, jays, wrens, raptors, and more. Lake Chabot is usually a good spot for wintering waterfowl and waders. We'll meet at the parking area across from the Police and Fire Headquarters. Take Lake Chabot Road north from Castro Valley Boulevard for 1.6 miles. Turn right just before the 'East Bay Regional Park District' sign. Follow the road uphill for .7 miles to the parking area on the left. This is a 1-way trip and we will shuttle drivers back to the cars from the main entrance. Be prepared for moderate walking (2-3 miles) with hills and the possibility of rain. Scopes will be helpful. We'll finish by noon.
