Friday Bird Walk – Tucker’s Grove

Nestled between Goleta and Santa Barbara, just above Cathedral Oaks Road, is Tucker’s Grove. A popular park and oak woodland, it is the main access to San Antonino Canyon Park, whose main trail follows San Antonino Creek. The park attracts many birds as parks do, but has the added bonus of having a long riparian corridor along the creek. One never knows what avian species will be found here.
