An office trip clubbed with family celebrations made us pack our bags to San Francisco for 6 weeks. We stayed in Richmond, Marina Bay area and were gifted with daily sightings of birds. Meekers Slough, a mudflat channel along the Richmond coastline was our regular birding spot. We also sighted few birds in our treks in different parts of Marin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
