Wavecrest Raptor Walk
With San Mateo County Bird Alliance
This Saturday, November 14, 2026
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
There are just a few tickets left for this wonderful walk, exploring our local overwintering raptor population. Wavecrest is the single most important site on the San Mateo Coast for wintering raptors, which can be seen hunting in the property's broad fields. Raptors and other species rely on its expansive grasslands, wetlands, and roosting sites. Wavecrest is the place to see many raptors, including White-tailed Kites, Northern Harriers, Turkey Vultures, Sharp-shinned/ Cooper's/ Red- tailed/ Rough-legged Hawks, American Kestrels and Falcons.
We will tour the open space preserve in small groups, each led by a docent from the San Mateo County Bird Alliance.
Cost: $18
Please watch Raptors of Wavecrest with Alvaro Jaramillo to prepare for this walk. It will provide a significant background and education on local raptors.
