Upcoming waterfowl hunts will be held at the Congressman Pete Stark Ecological Reserve at Eden Landing in Hayward, managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
A small boat, canoe, or other flotation device is recommended to access ponds and blinds. The reserve features restored salt pond habitat and will be open to 100 hunters on a first-come, first-served basis.
“These hunts typically have a two- to three-bird average per hunter with northern shoveler and American wigeon being the most common harvest,” said Wildlife Biologist and Reserve Manager Garrett Allen.
Notable aspects of the Eden Landing waterfowl hunts include no entry fees and hunting opportunities on some Tuesdays and Thursdays when other public areas are closed.
