Birds at Stafford Lake

This reservoir on upper Novato Creek is a great
place to see a variety of winter birds. We’ll stroll along the shore and enjoy
flocks of ducks, while keeping an eye open for raptors overhead. We often see
golden eagles here, and now and again a peregrine makes an appearance. The
trees here are always a good place to see a variety of woodpeckers, and there
are usually plenty of mixed flocks of songbirds passing through as well. This
walk is for adults. We request that no animals (except service animals) attend.
Heavy rain may cancel. If questionable weather, call (415) 893-9527 on the
morning of the walk for a recorded message to see if the walk is cancelled. David Herlocker will lead. Questions: Contact
David at (415) 893-9508 or DHerlocker@marincounty.org. Meet
at the area 3 parking lot at Stafford Lake Park in Novato (3549 Novato Blvd).
DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in Novato, take exit 463 for San Marin Dr west 2.9
miles. Turn right onto Novato Blvd and follow for 2.6 miles. The park is on the
left. Turn left after the gate house and follow to the parking lot. Park
entrance fee is waived for participants.
