Young Birders Club: Field Trip to Shoreline Lake

Join us for a walk along Shoreline Park and Lake! We’ll walk along the Bay Trail and Adobe Creek Loop Trail to explore Shoreline Lake, Charleston Slough, and Coast Casey Forebay. We’ll search the waters for shorebirds and ducks, and look to the sky for flying terns, swallows, and birds of prey. 

This trip is designed for young birders, but parents and siblings are welcome to attend. We welcome birders of all skill levels—whether you’ve been birding for years, or never picked up a pair of binoculars before, we’d love to bird with you! Young birders can socialize and have fun birding together. Loaner binoculars are available for participants.
