On Jun 19, a walk up Middle Ridge Road produced (2) PILEATED WOODPECKER,
3/4 of a mile up from Gazos Creek Road. Further up the road, a
DUSKY FLYCATCHER was just east of a sign post for "Ocean View Summit".
(Dave Weber)
Directions by David Suddjian below:
Directions:
The spot is not hard to get to, but will require a 1.7 mile hike or bike
ride, with an elevation gain of about 700 feet. From park HQ
(day use fee), take the road (North Escape Road) that leads north from
the entrance kiosk, across from the park office & visitor center.
Go 0.25 mile, turn left onto Gazos Creek Road, cross the creek and
park in the picnic area somewhere near the gate that is a short way
ahead. Walk for 1 mile up Gazos Creek Road, then turn right (north)
onto Middle Ridge Road. Continue for 0.7 miles on Middle Ridge.
The walk is steady uphill, but it fairly easy except for a few hundred
moderately strenuous yards after you start up Middle Ridge. The road
eventually enters a sizable open area of chaparral and knobcone pines,
and atop a low ridge in this open area there is a new trail signpost
indicating a short spur trail on the right to Ocean View Summit
(not truly a summit, as the ridge that road is following continues to
climb, but there is a view). The bird's territory is just east of the
top of the rise near the signpost.

the Fish Docks. On Jun 21, the BLACKPOLL WARBLER continues at the
Fish Docks, a female SUMMER TANAGER was at Drake's Beach and
(2) WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS were off of Drake's Beach. The singing
NORTHERN PARULA continues near the bridge at Pt Reyes Station.
