This event is highly dependent on weather. If it is raining I will probably cancel but if it is only overcast or drizzly we may still walk.

We will start walking promptly at **9:30 AM**. Let's meet in the Don Edwards parking lot.

Bair Island Wildlife Refuge is made up of tidal channels, mudflats and salt marsh vegetation. It is also home to various birds and marine wildlife such as salt marsh harvest mice, cottontail rabbits, peregrine falcons, pelicans, egrets, terns and stilts.

Paths are gravel and dirt and total about 3.5 miles. There may be some puddles and muddy parts of the path so you might want to wear an old pair of shoes. The paths are **unshaded** and flat with no hills. There is a nice observation deck where you can see beautiful views across the bay on a clear day. There are also some benches along the path if you need to rest for a few minutes.

**No dogs allowed.**

Some car navigation systems will guide you past the meet location so here are some directions to where you can find us:

**Directions to Bair Island Refuge**:
\- Take the Whipple Avenue East exit from Highway 101
\- Make a sharp right turn to get onto the Bayshore frontage road
\- Go past the car dealerships on the left
\- Go through the roundabout near the Courtyard Marriott Hotel
\- Go past the apartments and condos on Bair Island Road
\- Just before you get to the Villas Apartment complex look to your lower right for the brown and white "**Don Edwards SF Bay"** parking lot sign
\- Make a right turn into that parking lot
\- Proceed to the "**Bair Island Public Parking**" area and park there
\- Look for the woman holding the sunflower
