Wandering Tattlers at Cesar Chavez
Friday, 2021-10-01, Rosmarie Richardson and I went to Cesar Chavez Park and then Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary for my first foray in close to four months -- it's too hot for me otherwise. We walked

Re: Albany Waterfront Birds and NEW PARKING ENFORCEMENT
I just have to add that the parking restrictions is one more way that the Bay Area is segregating the poor, disabled, etc. Our parks and museums were also once free. It's so cruel. Thank you for

Re: Albany Waterfront Birds and NEW PARKING ENFORCEMENT
Other parking options for Albany include:
1) Parking on the other side of the underpass under the freeways, on Buchanan or one of the side streets (yes, this adds to the walking distance).

Hi east bay birders,
Today I spent the morning down at the Albany Waterfront exploring the mudflats, plateau, and Bulb. Beautiful weather today, warm and clear with little to no wind.

Re: East Bay Hawk Watching at Vollmer Peak
One more comment to Hawk Watching Vollmer. It is completely weather dependent. If fog is present, no raptors will be moving. You want days with the wind from the north in the fall to push the birds
