Bird Curious @ Buena Vista Park, SF

Date: Saturday December 13, 8 am to 10 am

Facilitators: Camden Dodik, Justin Roderman, Lydia Bruno

Trip Size: 15 participants

Description: Come bird with us at the oldest park in San Francisco, Buena Vista Park. This is a gorgeous spot to observe warblers, songbirds, woodpeckers, and hawks, right in the middle of the city! This outing is part of the Bird Curious series– Bird Curious is for new birders and those that enjoy helping and sharing knowledge with new birders. We aim to highlight the contemplative aspects of birding by listening and being present. Our purpose is to create community around birds and deepen our relationship with the natural world through shared education and discovery. Bird Curious walks will always be free, but please register so we know you’re coming! For a list of birds we could potentially see on our walk, check out the ebird records for past Decembers at Buena Vista Park here.

No binoculars? No problem! Fill out this form to check out a pair from Golden Gate Bird Alliance’s lending library. We will also have a few loaner pairs on hand, available on a first come, first served basis. If you have an extra pair of binoculars and you’re willing to bring them along to share, please do! We expect the outing to be about 2 hours, on moderately hilly paved trails. There are no restrooms in the park, but there is a nearby coffee shop that has one if need be. google map.

Directions: Meet at the western edge of the park on Buena Vista Ave, close to the playground. (google map) There is a fair amount of on-street parking. The park is also accessible by bus (the 6, 7, 37, and 43 all have stops nearby). We will send out a carpool sign up to those people attending the field trip.
