Description: Cloisters Park features a pond and a well-maintained walking path,
offering excellent birding opportunities. Species commonly seen include
White- and Golden-crowned Sparrows, California Thrasher, Yellow-rumped
Warbler, and Black-crowned Night-Heron. The pond also attracts migratory
ducks and geese. Gulls are usually present and raptors can often be seen
flying over the park. The field trip is approximately 2 miles
along a flat asphalt path, fully accessible for those using wheelchairs,
walkers, or canes. Restrooms are available.
This field trip is in celebration of Birdability Week 2025.
Birdability is a non-profit organization that focuses on making birding
accessible to all, and provides resources for existing organizations who
want to improve the accessibility of their events and programs. Find out
