Ulistac Natural Area Fall Migrants (Santa Clara)

Join us for a leisurely outing to look for migrant songbirds, woodpeckers, and raptors. 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.
