The Season to Kayak!

Summer is simply a wonderful time to kayak! Ample sunshine, warmer waters, and abundant wildlife make for a pleasant, invigorating journey every time. Last Saturday, we invited a group of kayakers to join us on our local Corte Madera Creek. I admire those first-timers who joined us for the 3-mile round trip from Kentfield to Larkspur, and hope they'll kayak with us again. The local wildlife put on a show that day, where sightings included egrets, green herons, great blue herons, and a host of ducks and geese. Bat rays and harbor seals are also a common sight in their search for food. Later this summer, expect to see more northern shorebirds as they begin their arrival to winter on our shores, such as scaups, willets, plovers, sandpipers, stilts, and avocets. We're planning more kayaking trips this summer, so stay tuned for further details.
