Let’s Go Birding Together: Evening Stroll at McClellan Ranch (Cupertino)

Female Mallards by Peter Hart

Grab your binoculars, field guides, and whatever flags you’re flying this Pride Month and join us for some social birding!

We’ll begin by birding the area around the McClellan Ranch bird feeders, visit the native pollinator gardens in the meadow, and bird along the nature trail following Stevens Creek. This event is as much about being with your fellow birders as much as it is about enjoying the birds, so come ready to make some new friends! Please note that this is a queer-friendly space, but all birders are welcome.
