A walk through various habitats at this EBMUD property usually allows us to see 40-50 species. Bring your EBMUD trail pass, if you have one. This property is at the upstream end of the Upper San Leandro Reservoir. If it has been raining, the first section could be a bit muddy, but most of the route is on a gravel trail or road.

This is a good outing for beginning birders.
