Around 225 bird species have been observed at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens! Habitats in the Gardens’ 47 acres include cultivated gardens, native coastal pine forest, coastal bluffs, and the rocky intertidal zone. Many species can be recorded flying past overhead or are seen on the ocean. About 90 species are commonly found in the Gardens at various times of the year.  The first Saturday of the month a Beginning Bird Walk is held at the Gardens, led by a Mendocino Coast Audubon Society member. These are scheduled year-round except August and September.  Check the Audubon Society’s calendar for updates and cancellations. Please note: Walks will be canceled in the event of heavy rain.
