Google Maps: Peninsula Tennis Club, GPS: 32.7556, -117.2407
Leaders: Peter Thomas, and others
The San Diego River Estuary adjacent to Robb Field is one of the most productive and rewarding birding sites in our region. The salt marsh mudflats, sand islands, and
wetlands, always changing with the fluctuating tides, provide rest spots and foraging areas for a wealth of bird species. We will focus on shorebird winter migrants and year-
round residents. If time permits, we will travel to the Sea World Dr. to see what may be further upstream. Restrooms are available at the trailhead at Robb Field. Meet on the
levee opposite the tennis courts. Capped at 12 participants.
Directions: From the western terminus of I-8 at the stoplight, turn left, keeping to the rightmost lane to Sunset Cliffs Blvd., and curving to the right along the open grassy
fields. Continue to W. Pt. Loma Blvd. at the stoplight, turn right, and continue to the roundabout at Bacon St. Take the first right, and continue to the parking lot, opposite the
tennis courts. Meet up on the levee pathway. Watch out for passing cyclists.
