Birding with Monterey Audubon Society at Songbird Preserve

Big Sur Land Trust is thrilled to host Monterey Audubon Society field trips at Big Sur Land Trust Preserves. Monterey Audubon Society members and Big Sur Land Trust supporters are invited to this wonderful opportunity to explore the lands we love in a new way. This event is appropriate for beginning birders and all those interested in learning how to better identify our local breeding birds. Thanks to Big Sur Land Trust’s growing partnership with Monterey Audubon Society, we have begun using eBird to monitor the bird populations on Big Sur Land Trust preserves. This field trip is an opportunity to contribute to this new and growing effort, and all participants will have access to a list of birds seen during the day.

• Distance: 1 mile
• Elevation: <10 ft
• Difficulty: Easy. We’ll walk about one mile round trip on flat paths. (There may be a few small rocks and roots.)

Please note that each participant must be individually registered (including kids, who need to be accompanied by an adult)
