Joseph D. Grant County Park

Joseph D. Grant County park is an excellent birding location in the East Hills of Santa Clara County. We will walk through the scrub and savanna habitat in search of lingering winter birds as well as possible early spring arrivals. Nestled in a bucolic valley with stunning views of Mount Hamilton and Lick Observatory, it feels like another part of the world. Target birds include Golden Eagle, Say’s Phoebe, Phainopepla, Lawrence's Goldfinch, pretty good chance of the returning Vermillion Flycatcher. Attendees are encouraged to bring lunch and we can eat together after the walk. 

Registration opens at 1pm on Friday, February 28 and closes at 11pm on Monday, March 31.
