Sweet Springs Birding
October 27, 2026
9 am to 12 Noon
Sweet Springs Preserve, Los Osos
Leader: Grace Hayes
Description: Audubon Sweet Springs Nature Preserve offers an ideal setting for birding, with two viewing platforms and meandering trails that provide panoramic views of the estuary, wetlands, and mudflats—prime habitat for a variety of shorebirds. The on-site pond attracts ducks, while the surrounding diverse vegetation supports many breeding and migratory bird species during the spring season and fall seasons. The walk covers approximately 1 mile on level boardwalks and dirt paths, making it an easy and enjoyable stroll for all experience levels.
