Discovering Birds Along the Way
Part of the Wilderness Experience...

When you walk from Santa Cruz to Monterey one never knows what you will see along the way. The joy of discovery is perhaps the best part of the journey. You may even find yourself enjoying BIRD WATCHING! This is alarming for many of our walkers….but, relax, it’s fun, addicting, and many of your own family and friends are birdwatchers.

Finding birds along the way...

Here we are enjoying the saline pond, steps from Day 3 of our Walk the Bay trip along the Monterey Bay, setting up cameras, peering through binoculars. Why? Because watching the amazing activities of birds is a unique wilderness experience. It is a very special time when you as a human interact at very close range with truly wild creatures.

Go outside today and listen to the birds. Maybe you’ll be tempted to pick up a camera or a pair of binoculars. Be prepared to enjoy the experience!
