San Francisco Botanical Garden — Meet at Main Gate
About the Program
Join us for a leisurely bird tour of the San Francisco Botanical Garden!
Fall bird migration will be in full swing, so we will look for unusual warblers passing through and our returning overwintering birds including Townsend’s and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Fox Sparrows, Golden-crowned Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Hermit Thrushes. We’ll also be on the lookout for our familiar friends such as Anna’s Hummingbirds, Black Phoebes, Scrub Jays, Robins, California Towhees, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, White-crowned Sparrows and Song Sparrows.
Recommended Supplies
- Water bottle
- Sunscreen
- Hat and layers
- Portable chair
- Binoculars (if you have an extra pair to share, please bring it!)
Please email birdcurious@goldengatebirds.org with any questions, or if you RSVP (make sure to include “11/15 Botanical Gardens field trip” in the subject line). Also, if you RSVP but cannot attend, please email birdcurious@goldengatebirds.org as soon as possible so that your spot will open up for others.
