Audubon Canyon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Audubon Canyon is a coastal valley in Marin County, California, United States[1], which is associated with a small stream. The canyon provides habitat for a variety of animals and plants. Natably, its redwoods provide nesting sites for Great blue herons, great egrets and snowy egrets.[2]

The stream descends the western slope of Bolinas Ridge, crosses State Route 1 and drains into Bolinas Lagoon about 3 miles (5 km) north of Stinson Beach, California.[3]

Audubon Canyon Ranch, a local organization, has preserved much of the canyon as part of its Bolinas Lagoon Preserve.
