Western Bluebird

Bird Walks

Many birds make their homes in Edgewood Park, such as the Red-shouldered Hawk and the Western Bluebird.  During the fall and winter, other birds may just be passing through on their migration to somewhere else. All are a joy to watch and hear.

Hikes are geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about the birds of San Mateo County’s only natural preserve. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.

Heavy rain cancels hikes.

See our calendar or events page for specific dates and where to meet.
