This trip is especially good for beginners!

Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek is an underrated birding spot, home to dozens of resident species. We’ll hope to see some winter visitors as well! We’ll meet at the overlook of the Natural Lake, west of North San Carlos Drive, about 100 yards beyond the community center.

Meeting point GPS: 37.921260813409184, -122.04358260674651

At 8:00AM an experienced birder or two will be on hand to demonstrate how to properly use binoculars, and to discuss birding guidebooks and apps. We’ll be scanning the lake to see which ducks and other birds might have arrived to spend the winter.

We should be done around 10:00. Birders of all experience levels are welcome! Bring binoculars if you have them; we’ll also have a few pairs to borrow.

Trip will go on in damp weather, but significant rain or high wind cancels.
