Join us for a voyeuristic walk to watch for possible bird of prey flight behaviors at the peak of their pre-nuptial exuberance.  Allen Fish, Director of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, will discuss the meaning of behaviors such as sky dancing, leg dropping and talon grappling. Possible species include red-tailed, red-shouldered, and Cooper’s hawks, white-tailed kites, and northern harriers.  Bring binoculars, field-guide, keen observational skills, and a sense of humor. This walk is for adults. We request that no animals (except service animals) attend. Heavy rain may cancel. If questionable weather, call (415) 893-9527 on the morning of the walk for a recorded message to see if the walk is cancelled. Questions: Contact Shannon Burke at (415) 893-9520 or SBurke@marincounty.org. Meet at the gate on Deer Island Ln in Novato. DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in Novato, take exit 463 for Atherton Ave east 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Olive Ave and left onto Deer Island Ln. The gate and parking is on your right.
