About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Calling all LGBTQ+ community members! Come birding with POST and Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance and meet other queers of a feather! Whether you are experienced or completely new to birding, this event will provide a fun opportunity to get out in nature, gain a bird’s eye view of species found locally, and find your flock.

Thanks to our knowledgeable facilitators, this event will be the opposite of a wild goose chase. They'll guide us on a leisurely stroll with many stops to get a gander at local birds. And if you get peckish along the way, never fear! We'll provide snacks! (Please don’t feed the birds)

Trail information: This hike is rated easy, with little to no change in elevation. The trail surface is packed dirt, mostly exposed. The entire hike is a little over a mile, with stops to chat about the preserve, bird species, and, of course, spectacular coastal views.If you have any questions about accessibility or need to request accommodations, don’t hesitate to contact us at events@openspacetrust.org.

Please note that this event sells out quickly. If you register and can no longer attend, please be sure to cancel your reservation or reach out to us.

This will be an LGBTQ-centered event led by LGBTQ-identifying facilitators with the purpose of creating a welcoming and inclusive space for queer community members and allies to gather and develop a sense of belonging in the outdoors.

Join us on this beginner-friendly birding outing with experienced facilitators and build community. We look forward to seeing you at this event on Saturday, June 14 at Wavecrest Open Space Preserve in Half Moon Bay. Sign up soon because the early bird gets the spot!

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST)

POST protects open space on the San Francisco Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all. Since 1977, we've worked hard to permanently protect lands for hiking and recreation trails, wildlife habitats, redwood trees and local farms—all of which make our region extraordinary.

We want people to get out and enjoy these amazing local landscapes, so we host all kinds of community events—and we'd love for you to join us! See our full list of hikes, film screenings, lectures and more.

We're an accredited land trust and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means we're funded by the generous support of private individuals and foundations.

POST-protected properties are all around: Windy Hill, Mindego Hill and several others off of Skyline Boulevard; Tunitas Creek Beach in Half Moon Bay; Bair Island in Redwood City; Whaler's Cove by Pigeon Point in Pescadero; parts of Coyote Valley in San Jose; and many more.
