Black-headed Grosbeak by Luis Villablanca

Coyote Creek at the Coyote Creek Visitor Center

Let’s visit the meandering Coyote Creek in Morgan Hill, starting at the Coyote Creek Visitor Center at Anderson Lake County Park. We will be looking for spring arrivals such as Black-headed Grosbeaks, Warbling Vireos, and Bullock's Orioles, in the sycamores area and raptors like White-tailed Kites and Red-shouldered Hawks in open orchards and fields. Golden Eagles are sometimes seen overhead and Wood Ducks can occasionally be found on the creek.
