初春一起去看鳥

分享内容

During the winter, many birds spend their time in the Bay Area to escape the cold weather. This is also the time of the year when many birds are in their breeding plumage, looking colorful and fancy while trying to attract mates. We will walk around the ponds in the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge in Alviso to get close up looks of these beautiful birds in our backyard. Depending on our walking speed, we will walk 2-3 miles. Bring water, sunglasses, sunblock, hat, and wear good walking shoes.
