No sign-up, no fee.
Leader: Kimball Garrett.
Kimball will help us identify and age the various sandpipers and other shorebirds that use the lower Los Angeles River as a migratory stopover. Also expect various waterfowl, gulls, etc., and a few migrant and resident landbirds. A great opportunity to appreciate the variety of shorebirds as they hit the migration corridors in earnest.
Take the 710 (Long Beach) Fwy S to the Willow Street offramp, head E over the LA River, and take the first left on Golden Ave, the first left on 26th, and follow this past the pump station onto DeForest Ave. Park near the river access by the bridge, meet along the river at 7:00 a.m., and bird until noon. We may caravan to at least one additional location farther upriver after covering the Willow Street area.
No fee, no sign-up. Spotting scopes very helpful, although we will share.
