The Los Gatos Birdwatcher has started its 25th year specializing in everything you can do to enjoy the wild birds with whom we share our Earth — from healthy backyard habitats to guided tours around the world. Our customers depend upon us for fresh bird seed, feeders, baths, field guides, optics & unique gifts.
Our mission is to educate, share adventures, and have fun through the love and experience of birds and nature. Visit us at our store in Los Gatos, California.

As things “open up” we plan to do two Saturday bird walks each month. We cannot gather in large groups so must limit to 10 participants. Please call ahead to sign-up. Everyone must drive themselves. Locations are selected based on easily accessible trails allowing for social distancing and with enough parking. There will be no sharing of optics and everyone will be asked to wear a mask. Walks start at 8:15 AM on location and end by 10:00 AM.
