Join the Open Space Authority and the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society for a morning of birding! We’ll explore the five small, spring-fed ponds on the property among pine and oak woodland, looking for fall migrants and waterfowl. The trail is about 1.5 miles long and is mostly flat but uneven in spots.
