Young Birders Club: Sunnyvale Baylands
On this trip to Sunnyvale Baylands Park, we'll start at the Southeast parking lot, then venturing to the freshwater wetlands. From there, we'll travel to the observation platform and boardwalk, where we'll find a variety of ducks, shorebirds, geese, and some raptors. Then, we'll travel alongside the grasslands and cottonwood trees, checking for flycatchers, thrushes, and any other birds.
This trip is designed for young birders, but parents and siblings are welcome to attend. We welcome birders of all skill levels! Loaner binoculars are available for participants.
