December 27 (Monday): Calero-Morgan Hill Count Circle - The Calero-Morgan Hill count in south Santa Clara County extends across the valley to foothills in both the Coast and Diablo ranges. It includes several creeks, lakes and wetlands as well as grasslands, chaparral, and oak woodlands. We'll be counting in city and county parks, open space preserves, water district reservoirs, and private properties, some not usually open to the public. Annual targets include both eagles, falcons, Burrowing Owl, and a surprising variety of gulls. If you'd like to participate, please contact Count Organizer Rick Herder at rick.herder@gmail.com.
