Young Birders Club: Cuesta Park

On this easy walk through Mountain View's Cuesta Park, we will identify some of the birds that are often seen in our city parks and neighborhoods, including songbirds, hawks, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds. We will also look for White-breasted, Pygmy Nuthaches and warblers. This is focus on beginning birders, but all are welcome.
This trip is designed for young birders, but parents and siblings are welcome to attend. We welcome birders of all skill levels—whether you’ve been birding for years, or never picked up a pair of binoculars before, we’d love to bird with you! Young birders can socialize and have fun birding together. Loaner binoculars are available for participants.

Trip Difficulty: 1 mile, paved trails, lawns (potentially wet), little or no elevation gain, little to no shade

Leaders: Yathir and Kaiting, contact [email protected] with questions
