Birding can be an excellent outdoor activity, but there are likely many reasons people haven't given it a try. Well, if your reasons are that you don't know where to go and what you need to be a birder, this bird walk is the answer! California State Park staff will lead the way on a 1- to 2-mile walk on unpaved trails going through mixed oak woodland and coastal scrub, looking for a variety of birds from strutting turkeys to soaring hawks, and raucous jays to musical tree creepers.
Participants should wear shoes and clothing suitable for walking along unpaved trails. You are also advised to have sun protection, water, snacks, and an extra layer (in case of chilly morning breezes). If you have binoculars (any old pair will do!), go ahead and bring them along, but they are not required.
The meeting/check-in point is by the restrooms at the Pantoll Campground and trailhead parking lot.
