Allen’s Hummingbird: Vivek Khanzode

PUBLIC 4 HOUR TRADITIONAL

Join us at Ed Levin County Park Spring Valley area to try and find all of Santa Clara County's migrating and breeding hummingbirds. We are sure to find numerous Allen's and Rufous Hummingbirds at the Magic Tree with our dream goal of spotting a Calliope Hummingbird. We will then travel to a creek area like the Los Gatos Creek Trail where we can find our last county breeder, the Black-chinned Hummingbird. Be sure to bring a chair and some snacks as we stake out the Magic Tree during The Hummy Pot.
