Let's Go Birding to Sunol Regional Wilderness
Saturday, March 24 — 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
The Sunol Regional Wilderness was once an ancient seabed and home to California’s Native Americans. Today it consists of 6,859 acres used for cattle and outdoor recreation. In March the wildflowers should be in bloom and many of the birds will have returned to the area for the breeding season. We will spend this day walking park trails concentrating on bird song and behavior as nesting activities will be underway.
Fee: $25 per person + share of gas
Let's Go Birding to Fremont Peak
Saturday, April 21 — 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Fremont Peak has a lot of history surrounding it as far back as 1847 when Army Captain John C. Fremont selected this 3,169 foot peak to raise the American flag. He and his men then waited for a war that never happened. Just out of San Juan Bautista, one travels 11 miles up to the peak. This winding, mountain road has few travelers and affords birders many places to look for great birds. Once at the top on a clear day you can see Mount Hamilton, the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean. You can also often find Canyon and Rock Wren, Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcon and Sage Sparrow.
Fee: $25 per person + share of gas
