Point Reyes Lighthouse to Drake's Beach

Birding In Marin, Series 10 – Trip 9                     

Saturday, September 6, 2025   

8:30 AM to mid-afternoon

Birding with Jim White and Bob Battagin

Registration is required for this trip.  Registration opens August 27 at 8AM

This is the place to be for fall birding. Migrants like hawks, jaegers, shorebirds and loons follow the coast south. While a great many songbirds also leave their nesting grounds to head south, some get lost. These vagrant warblers and other eastern songbirds are the reasons that the tree islands of the Point Reyes peninsula are so popular with birders.  

We intend to visit the nearby Fish Docks after the Lighthouse then work our way back to Drake’s Beach for lunch and much more birding. Bring lunch and drinks. Restrooms available at Drakes’s Beach.

 Directions; Meet at 8:30 at the Lighthouse parking area. The Lighthouse parking area is at the west end of Sir Francis Drake. Going north through Inverness follow Sir Francis Drake to the Lighthouse. Allow 30 min from Inverness or 1.5 hours from San Rafael.
