CANCELLED - Fall Raptors
Every year thousands of raptors move down the Pacific coast as they head to wintering sites as far away as South America. A large percentage of these birds pass through the Marin Headlands where they are annually documented by the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO). We’ll start the day with a walk in Rodeo Valley learning to identify these birds and discussing their life histories, then we’ll drive up to Hawk Hill for more raptor viewing and to meet GGRO Director, Allen Fish, who will discuss the work of this amazing volunteer-based organization. Walking distance: 2 miles. Elevation change: 95'.
Remember to bring a lunch and binoculars if you have them. No pets (except service animals) are allowed.
Be sure to check the calendar or call (415) 473-6086 two hours before the event to confirm the status. Factors including illness, adverse weather, or Air Quality Index (AQI) that exceeds 150 on AirNow.gov may cancel events.
