Public Season at Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Martin Griffin Preserve
Martin Griffin Preserve (formerly called Bolinas Lagoon Preserve) hosts one of the most studied Great Egret nesting sites on the West Coast. Each year visitors can enjoy viewing approximately 100 active nests in a grove of redwoods on the property. Throughout public season, visitors can witness various stages of the nesting cycle including courting rituals, nest building, eggs, chicks and first flights.
Martin Griffin Preserve includes bird and wildlife viewing platforms outfitted with spotting scopes and binoculars, eight miles of hiking trails, picnic tables, and an environmental education-focused bookstore and natural history exhibit.
