For our May outing we’ll return to one of my favorite places: Santa Monica Creek off the west end of El Carro Lane in Carpinteria. The outing will take place Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 8 a.m. Hope to see you there!
Update: I (John) won’t be able to attend this outing because I’ll be birding in the Cuyama Valley as part of Linus Blomqvist’s Spring Bird Survey. Tom and Laurel will be at Santa Monica Creek for the outing, however.
Location: Santa Monica Creek
Date/time: Saturday, May 17, 2025, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Details: Take Santa Ynez Avenue north to El Carro Lane, then turn west (left) on El Carro Lane and drive to the end of the street and park. We’ll meet just beyond the end of El Carro Lane, then bird our way north and south along the dirt path and paved bike path by the Santa Monica Creek channel.
As always, Carpinteria Birdwatcher outings are free and open to all ages and ability levels.
