Preparations

The first audit will be Saturday August 29 starting with Elkhorn Slough.

With sufficient sleep the night before it will begin with Rick Fournier's 8:30 am birding walk off-site from the slough. The Long Loop and maybe the Five Fingers Loop Trails are on the agenda but not the steep dirt trail of the Short Loop. Kirby Park as kayak access and to test out the nature Conservancy's boardwalk are next followed by documentation of Moss Landing's kayak launch points.

Spanish Bay and Point Lobos trails are also on the day's agenda.
