Big Break Regional Shoreline
About
Sunday, October 18, 9am – noon Leader: Bill Hoppes ho ******** @ *** il.com Big Break Regional Shoreline has an excellent mix of habitats. First off, it has one of East Bay Regional Park District’s Visitors Centers as well as an excellent 3-D model of the SF Bay and Delta. We will first visit the fishing platform that has excellent views of the “Big Break” and the Carquinez Strait. After that, we will follow trails that edge willow runs, grasslands and sloughs. Birding is always good here and we have good chances to see anything from Sandhill Cranes to White-faced Ibis to our own White-tailed Kite. Bring a spotting scope, if you have one. Directions: Take I-880 north to CA-24 east to I-680 north to CA-242 north to CA-4 east to CA-160 toward Sacramento. After half a mile, exit on Main St and make a right, then make a left on Big Break Rd.
