Olompali Bird Walk

Join guest leader Rich Cimino of Yellowbilled Tours and Jack from Wild Birds Unlimited on this bird walk at Olompali State Historic Park on the north side of Novato. We’ll undertake an easy exploration of the historic garden areas and adjacent natural woodlands, looking for birds such as hooded orioles, Steller’s jays, bluebirds and other flycatchers, a variety of woodpeckers, and many other summer songbirds. To learn more about the birds we might find on the trip, see our profile of Olompali. 

Reserve your space by selecting your number of participants and clicking on “Confirm RSVP” above; the walk is limited to a small group so that everyone can see and hear the birds and leaders. We’ll meet at Olompali at 9 AM on Sunday, June 17th, and wrap up around 11 AM. Walking will be slow paced and mostly level, with a short stretch of very mild elevation gain as we explore the garden area and lowest section of the loop trail. Portable toilets available at entrance. Note that there is an $8 entrance fee, payable by cash, for access to the State Park (park passes also accepted).
