For our next group outing we’ll head back to the western part of the Carpinteria Bluffs. Starting at the Bailard Avenue parking lot, we’ll walk the coastal trail to the harbor seal overlook and back. Late November brings wintering birds to the Bluffs, like Say’s Phoebes and Western Meadowlarks in the grassland and loons and grebes offshore, and after Thursday’s meeting you’ll have a new appreciation for any Turkey Vultures we spot overhead. Join us on Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 8 a.m.
