Join the Young Birders Club for a short morning bird walk at Emily Renzel Wetlands! Located halfway between Charleston Slough and the Palo Alto Baylands, we’ll explore the freshwater ponds for egrets, herons, ducks, grebes, and more. 

This trip is designed for young birders, but parents and siblings are welcome to attend. We welcome birders of all skill levels! Loaner binoculars are available for participants. 

Meet: at the brown gates along East Bayshore Road to the left of the “Emily Renzel Wetlands” sign.

Parking: On the gravel strip along the side of East Bayshore Rd.

Latitude/Longitude: 37.441700, -122.114918

Directions: From the south, take 101 north to the San Antonio exit. Turn right onto San Antonio Rd.  Turn left at the first light onto East Bayshore Rd. and drive 1.3 miles till you see cars parked on the side of the road and a sign for Emily Renzel Wetlands. (Not the little parking lot half a mile before that. If you see a sculpture of a bicyclist, keep going.)

From the north, take 101 south to the Embarcadero Rd/Oregon Expwy exit.  Follow signs for Embarcadero Rd East (the exit is a little tricky). Turn right at the first light onto East Bayshore Rd. and drive 0.6 miles till you see cars parked on the side of the road and a sign for Emily Renzel Wetlands. Make a U-turn to park.
