Birdsong is a key indicator of spring. Along with what is considered “songs,” birds have a wide variety of calls they use to communicate with each other. Come on this leisurely-paced walk with 230-foot elevation gain to explore the Sausal Pond Loop. Listen to the sounds of spring and learn about this fascinating bird communication with Docent Naturalists Melissa Hero, Chris MacIntosh, and Bobbie Riedel. Bring binoculars if you have them.

Where to Meet

The Lower Windy Hill Parking Area at the lower portion of the preserve is located on Portola Road. Please note: This parking lot fills quickly. Please do not park on Portola Road: parking is strictly enforced.
