Olompali State Historic Park - Novato

Saturday, April 30, 2022

9 AM to 12 PM 

Birding with Rich Cimino & Janet Bodle 

Limit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration for the Olompali trip will be open starting on April 20 at 8:00 AM. There will not be a waiting list. No drop-ins please.

It’s always an exciting time to birdwatch at Olompali State Historic Park! Some think spring is the best time. Beginning and experienced birders are invited to join leaders Rich Cimino and Janet Bodle to bird the park. Late spring arrivals should be on hand as we walk the old ranch road to the park’s reservoir. We hope to see a wide variety of species that thrive in the park’s oak savanna and open grasslands: raptors, flycatchers, vireos, warblers, woodpeckers, nuthatches, thrushes, and Hooded Oriole. The field trip will start at 9 AM in the parking lot. Heavy rain cancels. 

DIRECTIONS: Exit Hwy 101 at Atherton Ave/San Marin Dr in Novato. Follow the signs to Olompali State Historic Park. A right turn onto the Old Redwood Hwy frontage road will take you to the park. There is an $8 parking fee.
