Site Report: Candlestick Park, United States of America

Candlestick Park is where the 49ers played, and where the Giants used to play. Next to the park, the shoreline is open landfill with access to the bay. The offshore birding can be exceptional. I have seen huge rafts of various ducks, and gulls are also very frequent here. To get to some of the best birding, you need to get into some of the dingier areas, but it is also quite easy to park your car and walk out to a pier where ducks sometimes congregate. Don't forget to check the grasslands for species not often seen in San Francisco.
