Vasona County Park

This fall, join us for a leisurely bird walk around the riparian woodlands, small lake, eucalyptus groves, and large manicured lawns of this urban Los Gatos park. We’ll be looking for fall warblers and other migrants as well as year-round residents such as Nuttall’s Woodpeckers, California Towhees, Chestnut-backed Chickadees and Oak Titmice.

Optional: pack your own lunch/snack and we'll picnic together afterwards.
