Fall migrants, including rarities, can often be found at the birding hotspots in Outer Point Reyes.  This all-day caravan-style birding trip will visit some of the prime birding locations such as The Lighthouse, the RCA station, the his-toric “A” and “B” ranches, and the Fish Docks.  If you plan to drive a car-pool, bring a full tank of gas.  Wear layers of clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and bring food, drinks, and talk-about radios if you have them.  Meet at the Cas-tro Valley Park ’n Ride (I-580 at Center Street) at 8:45 AM to form car-pools.  We’ll caravan north over the Richmond Bridge and take Sir Francis Drake Blvd. to the Bear Valley Visitor Center (about 90 minutes).  From there we’ll drive to the birding sites where we’ll do some walking over uneven and/or sandy ground and up and down stairs.  We’ll plan to leave by 4:30 PM for the trip back to Castro Valley.  Heavy rain cancels, but fog does not!  Fog may result in a fallout.
