Fall is an exciting season; warblers, flycatchers and others may be near the Lighthouse and Drakes Beach. Explore to find them!
About this event
Fall can be one of the most exciting times for birding at Point Reyes. Specific conditions and weather may cause a wide variety of migrant warblers, flycatchers and other land birds to rest and feed in trees near the Lighthouse, ranches and Drakes Beach.
Migration can be especially fun at this time when many surprises and unusual birds have been discovered. Warblers may include common migrants like Townsend's and Yellows, but also surprises from other parts of the continent.
During this outing we will explore a wide variety of habitats to find these species, raptors, shorebirds and any other birds in the area. This class will meet at the Drakes Beach Visitor Center. It will consist of several short walks.
