Leaders: Juli Chamberlin, Megan Jankowski, and Bob Toleno bob AT toleno.com

Join Bob, Juli, and Megan for a 2 1/2 mile round-trip walk on flat paved and gravel paths to Frank's Dump, possibly the best high tide roost in the East Bay. August is an excellent month to view migrating shorebirds, and we can expect to see Red Knots, Ruddy Turnstones, Short-Billed Dowitchers, phalaropes, and Snowy Plovers. August is a great month for "peeps", and we hope to see thousands of Western Sandpipers, possibly a Semipalmated Sandpiper, or maybe even a real rarity like the Red-Necked Stint found a few years ago. Evening light should give us excellent conditions for viewing shorebirds, mostly still in breeding plumage. Pre-registration is not required, and all are welcome.

Directions: Take I-880 to West Winton Avenue in Hayward and go west towards the bay to reach the park. Be sure to park outside the gate as the gate will be locked by the time we return
