The UCSF Mt. Sutro OSP is a 61 acre fragment of the more than 2000 acres of trees planted by Adolf Sutro in the late 19th century, and now cared for by the Sutro Stewards (https://www.sutrostewards.org/trail-map). We will be walking about 2 miles of trails through the forest and around the summit. There will be some uphill climbing and the trails are narrow, unpaved, and can be rocky in places. Mt. Sutro is a great place to focus on listening to locals and getting more intimate encounters with some of our regular birds. There is plenty of breeding activity still going on all over the Mountain, and we will likely see fledged young, feeding, and possibly some early migrators. 

Parking and meeting at the UCSF Woods Lot at 100 Medical Center Way at 8:30am. We are given permission through UCSF/Sutro Stewards to use the parking lot for the morning, no need to worry about the permit only signs. The restrooms are at the Aldea Community Center, 155 Johnstone Way, and we will make our way over there through the trails about one hour in to the walk. If you need directions or advice on how to get there, please email us at wlgrover@gmail.com, or pjgreene@sonic.net.

Bring binoculars if you have them!
