Meet at the Grant Avenue staging area in San Lorenzo for a walk along the canal to the shoreline and south to reach Oro Loma Marsh.  We expect to see shorebirds such as Red Knots, Short-Billed Dowitchers, Ruddy Turnstones, and Black-Bellied Plovers as well as gulls and terns and maybe a resident Osprey. Bring your scope if you have one. Pre-registration is not required, and all are welcome.  From I-880 south take the Washington Avenue exit.  Turn right on Washington and right on Grant Avenue.  From I-880 north take the Hesperian Blvd. exit.  Make a sharp left onto Hesperian and a right on Grant Avenue.  In either case continue west on Grant Avenue to the parking lot near the end of the road.
