Black-headed Grosbeak by Luis Villablanca

Coyote Creek at the Coyote Creek Visitor Center

Let’s visit the meandering Coyote Creek starting at the Coyote Creek Visitor Center at Anderson Lake County Park in Morgan Hill. We will look for spring arrivals such as Black-headed Grosbeaks, Ash-throated Flycatchers and Bullock's Orioles in the sycamores while keeping our eyes open for raptors soaring over the open orchards and fields. We’ll also quietly peek into the creek in a few locations in hopes of spotting the very shy Wood Duck.
