Drop-in at Charleston Slough

This is an opportunity to observe flocks of shorebirds as they devour their final feast of the day at dusk. Terns, gulls, willets, marbled godwits, avocets, stilts, and other shorebirds dip, dive, dine and hobnob with one another.  We will be hanging out on the observation deck overlooking the tidal estuary, identifying and discussing the birds behaviors and adaptations. Good experience for beginner birders.  It also can be a terrific time of day to take photos by the bay as the sun begins to set. Bring binoculars if you have them. There will be some available if you do not have them. Other items to bring: camera, water, sunhat, friends.

Drop-in anytime during the event. This is not a walk and is open to all levels of birding, including families and beginners.

Meet: Terminal Blvd at end of San Antonio Rd., Mountain View. Walk into the park area 1/8 mile to the observation deck.
