Self-guided Birding Locations
Sitting adjacent to an avian flyway (the Guadalupe River), surrounded by suburban sprawl, and boasting the last remnant forest in the city of Santa Clara, Ulistac holds its own as a spring migrant trap. Enjoy the smell of native plants and trees in the restored areas of the park and witness the gradual process of forest regeneration.
Ulistac Natural Area, in the city of Santa Clara, is an urban gem for birders and worth a visit year round. During fall it can get very active with migrant birds. Diverse habitats in a relatively small space offer a variety of species. The park is easily accessible by car or light rail and the trails are an easy walk that don’t require significant exertion.
