Try Hill 129 in the Marin Headlands. From US101 take the Alexander Av exit
just North of the Golden Gate bridge. Bear right, go through the tunnel
to Bynker Road. Turn left onto McCullough Road and then right again onto
Conzelman Road until it becomes one way. Walk uphill to hill 129.

The best time of year is from now into early November. Broad wings should start
going past anytime. Also, watch for Vaux's and Black Swift passing by.
