Bird Walking: Olema Marsh to Bear Valley
Event on 2012-04-29 09:00:00
Sunday, April 29, 2012 (9:00 am to 2:00 pm) This classic Point Reyes walk begins at Olema Marsh, one of the largest fresh water marsh areas in Marin County. This is a great habitat for species such as Green heron, Cinnamon teal, Virginia and Sora rails. If we're lucky a Bittern will appear. The walk continues through a variety of open grassland, riparian, and wooded habitats, including Lagunitas Creek, White House Pool, the Limantour Road, the Bear Valley Visitor Center, and Kule Loklo (a replica Coast Miwok village). Expect to see or hear about fifty species on this wonderfully diverse route. This is an easy 2.5 mile trail walk.
