November is the best month to see longspurs in Alameda County. We'll start this trip walking around the damp shortgrass of Mount Trashmore searching for Lapland Longspurs (or possibly other longspurs), as well as pipits, geese, sparrows, and larks. When we've had our fill of grassland birds, we'll head over to Frank's Dump where a +6.0 high tide should push lots of shorebirds up into the roost. Rain cancels.
Directions: From Hwy 880, take Winton Ave exit west and drive all the way to the end. We'll meet in the asphalt parking lot inside the gate. Pre-registration is not required, and all are welcome.
