Thinking ahead since i'm back in CA again... :biggrin:
When do the raptors start flying past the Marin Headlands in the fall?
Any other good sites for us flying-bird shooters?

and when do the birds start returning to the Sacramento NWR ?

Thanks -

I've yet to visit the Marin Headlands for the raptor migration, but the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory has a very helpful graph that might help you out. Not sure about Sacramento NWR, but around the SF Bay the timing is quite broad (sept-november)
