THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

Drop in anytime during the event to visit this open space preserve located between San Jose and Morgan Hill. Docents and volunteers will have scopes and extra binoculars to show you how to birdwatch in Coyote Valley.  Right from the parking lot, we’ll look for Golden Eagles in the skies, Yellow-billed Magpies in the oaks, and Rock Wrens in the serpentine rock outcroppings. Registration is not required for drop-ins, but we encourage it so you can be notified of cancellations and add the event to your calendar.
