Eagles, Hawks & other Birds of Prey Hike   Sunday,  FEB  12, 2017
10:00 AM

SOLANO LAND TRUST & SAN FRANCISCO BAY FLYWAY FESTIVAL —  Lynch Canyon Open Space Park
Join Larry Broderick and team for a hiking tour featuring resident, migrating and over-wintering birds of prey. Broderick is a gifted and entertaining teacher who brings over 25 years of experience researching, rescuing and rehabilitating raptors. Learn about these majestic birds, including where they go, what they do, and how to distinguish different species based on their looks, behaviors, and the ways they fly. COST: free as part of the San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival, but donations appreciated. Parking is $6 per motorized vehicle. Pre-registration recommended online. Bring: binoculars, snacks or a bag lunch, boots or sturdy, closed-toe shoes with tread for rough, steep, and slippery terrain, long, sturdy pants and layered clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, protection from sun, wind, fog and rain. Also recommended: camera, hiking sticks, and bug repellant. All ages are welcome, but participants must be prepared for a moderate pace covering about 4 miles, partly off-trail, up and down rugged, steep, and slippery hills that are full of sticky seeds, thorny plants, and thistle, and passing free range cattle along the way. Meet in the Lynch Canyon parking lot before 10am. Rain may cancel. Call Larry at 707-791-0335 if the weather is uncertain.
