The Freeman Ranch offers a variety of bird watching activities year-round for birders and nature enthusiasts. Each season has its own special appeal and unique opportunities. All activities are led by experienced local naturalists and are conducted with the welfare of the birds, other wildlife, and their habitats as first priority. Group size may be limited to minimize impacts on fragile habitats and sensitive species and to ensure a quality experience.
Activities scheduled are subject to additions and cancellations.
Reservations are required for some programs and recommended for all activities. Trail Walks Journey down our trail on guided walks through towering live oak trees while being introduced to birds and other wildlife that make their homes here. Trail walks take place weekly from late march through mid-September. Owl prowls Join a naturalist at dusk to search for owls at barns and breeding sites. They might be difficult to find and identify, and reservations are required.
