  • Upcoming Bird Walks

    Birds for Kids at Las Gallinas

    Sunday, January 25, 10 am to 12 pm

    We will join up with WildCare Family Adventures for a day of nature exploration and education. We will be joined by Marco Berger who is a fantastic teacher and naturalist who will share his expertise in both English and Spanish. This is a fantastic place for new birders to get great looks at a variety of birds. The water treatment ponds here are a magnet for ducks in colorful breeding plumage, hawks soar over the surrounding fields, and songbirds flit about the bushes along the levees. We’ll have spotting scopes, but bring binoculars if you have them! We request that no pets (except service animals) attend. Rain may cancel. If questionable weather call (415) 893-9527 after 8am on the morning of the event to hear a recorded message if cancelled. Questions: Contact David Herlocker at (415) 893-9508 or DHerlocker@marincounty.org. Meet at the Las Gallinas Sanitary District water treatment ponds in San Rafael (310 Smith Ranch Road). DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take the exit for Smith Ranch Rd east approximately 0.7 miles. Drive over the railroad tracks and immediately turn left to stay on Smith Ranch Rd. (If you go through the park entrance, you have gone too far). Follow Smith Ranch Rd 0.8 miles to treatment facility. Park on the left.
