Other birding classes

If you are interested in beginning level and other birding classes, there are several offerings in the Bay Area. There are classes taught by Lisa Myers through the Palo Alto Baylands, Campbell Recreation Dept., and at the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society. You can find out more at her Let's Go Birding website. Lou Beaudet teaches classes at the Los Altos-Mountain View Adult School. Matthew Dodder and Bob Power teach at the Palo Alto Adult School. Steve Rutledge also teaches at SCVAS.

Farther afield, Alice Hoch teaches in the Fremont-Newark area. Rusty Scalf and Bob Lewis have a poplular class at the Albany Adult School. And, of course, the well-known classes of Joe Morlan are held at the Marina Middle School in San Francisco.

If you know of other classes that I should note here, please use the pigeon at the bottom left to drop me a line.

The Lucy Evans Nature Center, aka the Interpretive Center, is located at the northeast end of Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto. From Hwy 101, take Embarcadero Road toward the Bay. Just past the driving range on the left, the road bends right. At the stop sign, turn left and continue past the Duck Pond, Ranger Station, over a bridge, to the parking lot on the right at the right turn in the road. The Nature Center is the structure in the marsh standing on posts.
