Red-shouldered Hawk by Sarah Chan
Ulistac Natural Area (Santa Clara)
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.
