This beginner-focused outing is great for birders of all levels. The Gardens host various habitats including cultivated gardens, pine forests, lawns, coastal prairie, and ocean views. Because of this diversity, there is a good mix of common and uncommon species as well as the occasional rarity. Year-round, we can expect to see 40-50 species per visit, and more than 60 on the best days!Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, as we'll be walking about two miles. A hat is advisable. Most of the walk is on level pathways, but there are a few hills. Please note that while the walks are free, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens does charge a reduced entrance fee, Friends of Audubon, for those who are not already members of the Gardens. A limited number of extra binoculars are available for those who need them.
