[EBB Sightings] GGA Dry Run to Lake Merritt, Wednesday 12/22

As part of continuing plans for the new monthly GGA trip to Lake Merritt 
(which will be announced in the January Gull, Ruth Tobey and I - now 
joined by Travis Hails - are planning another practice session next 
Wednesday. Come join us if you can!

Here's the text of the Gull announcement, which we'll try to follow to 
see how well it works....

Meet on the lake side of the nature center on Belleview Avenue at 9:30.
    We'll see who's visiting the nearest island in the bird sanctuary,
then stroll across the park to the garden area, aiming to reach it at 10
am when it opens. After checking out the warbler, sparrow, and
woodpecker action there, we'll return to the lake about 11 or 11:15 -
when the sun is high enough to avoid blinding us - and walk down toward
Embarcadero, admiring the array of seasonal visitors to the lake.
    The whole trip will be on smooth paths and lawns, mostly level but 
with some mild slopes and perhaps a curb or two.
    Take the 12, N, or NL bus to Grand & Perkins and walk into the park 
on Perkins, or park in the free lot at the boathouse, 568 Belleview. 
 From the parking lot, walk past the children's art center to the far 
side of the bird yard with the freshwater ponds.
