Lake Chabot Regional Park offers a variety of habitats for birding: riparian, grassland, bay-oak woodland, marshy shoreline, and open water. We'll look for spring migrants and nesting residents. We might see Bald Eagles, which have nested at the park for many years. We will walk a few miles on a mostly paved trail with a few moderately steep hills.

Directions: Take Lake Chabot Rd. north from Castro Valley Blvd. for 1.7 miles. Turn right at the main entrance to the park. Meet at the far end of the parking lot. (Note: The upper parking lot, where we usually meet, is closed). Pre-registration is not required, and all are welcome. Heavy rain cancels. Parking fee is $6, unless you have an EBRPD pass. Free on-street parking is available on Lake Chabot Rd.
