Date: September
22, 2025
Time: 8:30am
to 12:00pm
Leader(s): Eric
Wier & Steve McMasters
Description: Discover the Coastal Habitats of Montaña de Oro. Join us for a scenic and
bird-filled walk through this rugged coastal park! Our leaders will guide
you through the diverse habitats of Montaña de Oro, starting with the sea
bluffs along the south shore of Spooner’s Cove. We’ll explore the coastal
sage scrub and continue south along the rocky shoreline in search of
rock-loving shorebirds, sea ducks, and raptors. The walk then turns inland
along the riparian corridor of Islay Creek and into the pine-dotted
campgrounds, where we’ll look for passerines, woodpeckers, and other birds
of the coastal scrublands. This is a gentle walk covering 1–2 miles on
mostly flat trails and paved roads.
This field trip is ADA accessible, bathrooms are available, and the trip is
open to all levels of experience.
Registration will open on the morning of September 12, 2025 with
notification sent only to MCAS members. Not a MCAS member?
