12:00 noon to 3:30 PM
Leaders: Darren Dowell, Oliver Huang
Languages available: English, Mandarin 中文
Join us at the San Gabriel Coastal Basin Spreading Grounds (or possibly the Rio Hondo Spreading Grounds) in Pico Rivera after a morning of birding elsewhere or a relaxing brunch! This trip is timed in hopes of catching a large gull flock to study, but we’ll be making the rounds also to look through the usually enormous winter gathering of ducks and geese at this site, the variety of songbirds along the edges, and often a few shorebirds. Views can be distant at this site, so scopes are helpful. We’ll be doing a stroll along the level, paved or compacted bike trail around the basins, up to 3 miles if we do the full loop.
Participant number: No Limit
Trip details such as meeting location will be emailed to signed-up participants 1-3 days before the trip, based on reported conditions at the site.
