Hot Spots to Bird in May and June

​

Luckily, bird watching provides welcome comfort  to the solitary birder, even when group events are impractical. Here are three locations to get you
and your family started. Visit the events page for eBird links that list
recently seen birds at each location.

• Hidden Valley Park, Hanford - Urban birds, passerines, and waterfowl

• Foothills Visitor Center, Sequoia National Park - Raptors, woodpeckers and sparrows

• Hospital Rock, Sequoia National Park -  jays, kinglets, creepers and warblers.

COVID -19 PROTOCOLS 

Due to Covid-19 restrictions (Audubon, state & local), there are a few new rules that need to be followed in order comply with those restrictions and to protect our volunteers and family members:

​

• No sharing of vehicles with out-of-family/living groups (everyone in their own vehicle);

• Volunteers must maintain 6’ physical distance from anyone not in their family/living group;

• Everyone should have a mask with them for circumstances where 6’ distance cannot be maintained.
