Birding with Middlebirdy at Marks Ranch

Middlebirdy invites you to an exciting birding adventure at Marks Ranch in Salinas! This wonderful field trip is hosted by the Monterey Audubon Society (MAS) and Big Sur Land Trust (BSLT). The outing will be led by a knowledgeable birder, allowing us to identify and learn more about our local birds. Located off of Highway 68 just north of Toro Park, Marks Ranch is named after Benjamin and Nisene Marks (after whom the state park was named), and was once an egg production ranch. The land and many of the original features are now preserved by the Big Sur Land Trust. We’ll learn about the birds, the natural history, and the human history of this unique property. The outing is free and registration is completed through BSLT’s Eventbrite to secure a spot. If you are interested in joining us, please register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/birding-with-monterey-audubon-society-at-marks-ranch-tickets-681760633407 and let either Jeanette (jeanetteb@middlebury.edu) or Elisabeth (eampthor@middlebury.edu) know that you signed up. We will then reach out to you regarding carpooling and if you would like to borrow binoculars. We hope you’ll join us!
