Coyote Creek Field Station Environmental Education

San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory

About the Project

The Open Space Authority contributed funds towards San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory's (SFBBO) "Coyote Creek Field Station Environmental Education Program." SFBBO operates a research bird-banding station at Coyote Creek, located at the urban boundary of San José and Milpitas, and engages dozens of volunteers and hundreds of visitors each year. For this project, SFBBO worked with interns from local universities to develop a place and a inquiry-based education module to bring students from six classrooms to engage in both classroom and field learning activities.

“Thank you for everything, this field trip was one of the best this year. I would love to come again, or even volunteer someday. I loved this field trip so, so, so, so, so, much. I would repeat the day and do it again, if I could. My favorite part was when we got to examine the birds up close. Every bird I saw was so beautiful, and extraordinary. The most amazing bird I saw was the song sparrow, its call was very melodic. Although my favorite bird is Stellar's jay.”
