Birds of SoHum Walk

Southern Humboldt Community Park

Join Sanctuary Forest and local birder and photographer Ann Constantino for a Birds of Southern Humboldt walk at Southern Humboldt Community Park on Saturday, May 11. We will check out the swift and swallow action under the bridge and then decide which way to proceed based on scouting during the previous week. We can expect to see nesting behavior and possibly some fledglings for many species, including Lazuli Buntings, Western Kingbirds, several species of swallow, Western Bluebirds, Bullocks Orioles and more. White-tailed Kites may be seen hunting, we will look for less common species such as the Grasshopper Sparrow and Chipping Sparrow, and we may get a glimpse of a Pileated Woodpecker.

RSVPs are suggested for all hikes as details are subject to change. Please meet at Tooby Park at 8am. The easy walk will last 2-3 hours. Participants should bring sturdy shoes, binoculars, lunch, water, and sun protection. Please no dogs. The hike is free of charge, though donations are gladly accepted and help us to offer this program year after year. Email anna@sanctuaryforest.org or call (707)986-1087 x 9# to RSVP. For more info, contact Ann Constantino at 707-296-8720. Hope to see you there!
