We will take a ~ 3 mile route through various habitats including the Caballo Loco group camp, sewage ponds, oak savanna and lake shore. Along the way we will inspect nest boxes to see how this year’s hatchlings are progressing.  Meet at the parking lot at the west end of the bridge at the south end of the lake. Restrooms and water available near the parking area and about half way through the transect at the Cedar Group Camp. To reach the meeting place, exit I-580 in Livermore at North Livermore Avenue. Head south and proceed through town. North Livermore Avenue will become South Livermore Avenue in town. About 1.5 miles outside town, turn right at Mines Road, go about 3.5 miles and continue straight onto Del Valle Road (Mines Road turns left) to the park entrance ($6 fee, no charge with an EBParks annual pass). After entering the park continue on  Del Valle road to the bridge and parking lot.
