McClellan Ranch Naturalists

Caught up in the summer doldrums already? We're branching out as the heat stretches on by adding some plant and non-avian animal appreciation to our birding. Join the naturalists as we connect birds with their habitat, getting up close and personal with the bugs, blooms, and everything else that supports the feathered friends we love.

As we bird along Stevens Creek, we'll be exploring the use of community science tools like eBird and iNaturalist.
