Ulistac in November

Nuttall's Woodpecker by Sarah Chan

Join us for a leisurely bird walk to look for songbirds, woodpeckers, raptors and wading birds. This urban open space with oak and riparian woodlands and seasonal wetlands contains the last 40 acres of natural, undeveloped land along the Guadalupe River in the city of Santa Clara. Park volunteers are continuing to remove invasive species and add California native plants making this place a rich urban sanctuary great for year-round birding.
