If you are interested in learning about shorebirds, please join Tammy at the Elsie Roemer bird sanctuary in Alameda. We hope to catch some nice views of migratory shorebirds feeding on the mudflats, as well as terns making acrobatic dives into the water to hunt for fish.
Elsie Roemer is about a 30-minute drive from Castro Valley. We will meet at the clubhouse at 9:20 AM to carpool, and we plan to grab lunch at the nearby Southshore Center around 11:30 AM. Otherwise, meet us between 10-10:30 at the viewing platform on Shoreline Drive near Broadway. At 10:30 AM, we will head south (to the left when facing the water) along the dirt trail to another pier about a quarter of a mile away.
Directions & Parking:
Elsie Roemer is located at the south end of Crown Memorial Beach in Alameda, at the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Broadway. Street parking is available on Shoreline Drive or Bayview Drive.

Carpooling & Gear:
Binoculars will be very helpful, and I will bring a few extra pairs in case anyone needs to borrow one.
If you plan to come, please e-mail me at tammywang@gmail.com so I can send you updates regarding the hike if needed.
