PUBLIC 4 HOUR TRADITIONAL

Ever wondered what a big day was? Now you can find out as you join the Young Birders in a "Mini Big day" where we will be trying to see as many species of bird as possible in a 4 hour time span. We will be visiting the Santa Clara Valley Water District, then proceeding to Almaden Lake County Park, Las Capitancillos Ponds, and finally the Guadalupe Oak Grove.
