Join Bill and Kitty on a field trip at Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont to look for waterbirds and landbirds in the park's marshlands and rolling grassland covered hills on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay and help increase the number of species we count during our Bird Photo Big Day! The park has a $5 entrance fee. This field trip is suitable for all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities.
Bill and Kitty met at a bird walk in 2016, began teaching advanced birding classes together, and have since gotten married. They are field trip leaders for SFBBO, the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, and the Santa Clara Open Space Authority and their goal is to blend a wide variety of birding skils in a light-hearted and fun approach to birding.
This field trip is part of SFBBO's 2022 California Fall Challenge (CFC) Bird Photo Big Day . This activity is a fundraiser, so we hope that, in addition to registering, you will consider giving generously for birds and help us continue conserving them for many decades to come.
While SFBBO welcomes support from everyone, the field trip will be limited to 10 participants.
All volunteers and participants will be asked to please follow SFBBO's Covid-19 Prevention Policy protocols:

If you answer yes to any of these, we hope you can still support the California Fall Challenge but ask you to please stay home. Please also reference the CDC's guidelines .

The California Fall Challenge is SFBBO's biggest annual fundraising campaign. Our goal for this year's CFC is to raise $45,000 by Oct. 30th to support our bird conservation work throughout the year and we hope you will participate by making a donation today to help us reach our goal! The Oct. 1st Bird Photo Big Day is a bird-a-thon where people from 10 Bay Area counties work together to take photos of as many bird species as possible in 24 hours. Photos will be shared on a group Facebook page and the event also includes a fun photo contest. We designed these walks to build excitement for the event and for birds and hope they inspire people to donate generously and get their friends and family involved as well.
Continue the Challenge! More fun California Fall Challenge activities are scheduled for September and October, including our Band-a-Thon , our online Silent Auction "Give Back" opportunities to buy bird-themed items from businesses that donate part of the proceeds to SFBBO. Thank you for supporting SFBBO!
