Birding Contra Costa City Parks

This is a great outing for beginning birders!

Starting in Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, we will walk around the large, mostly natural pond. From there we will carpool to two or three other area parks, to be determined on the day of the trip.

Trail Rating: Category 1-Easy. Up to a mile walking total, on level paths.

Elevation change: Minor

Leader: Randi and Herb Long, [email protected]

Meet: Wooden railing at the Natural Lake in Heather Farm (not the pond surrounded with concrete.)

GPS: 37.92123253937827, -122.04360842199883

Directions: Turn into the park on North San Carlos Drive from Ygnacio Valley Road. This is east of John Muir Hospital, the intersection has a Shell and a Chevron gas station. Drive to the stop sign past the community building and turn left into the parking lot. The wooden railing is straight ahead.

The field trip is limited to 14 participants. All must acknowledge the MDBA Liability Waiver (available during registration).
