I'm Avery the Avocet. I'll be your guide in exploring the youth section of Santa Clara Valley Audubon's website.

Here, we'll learn about the amazing bird species and habitats in the Santa Clara Valley and the greater Bay Area. You can find out how to get involved in fun field trips and events for youth and their friends and families. We'll also learn about current environmental issues and discover how to take action to protect wildlife and the environment.

Use the menu on the left to fly between the different sections of Kids' Corner. If you ever feel lost, migrate back to this homepage by clicking on "Kids' Corner" on the horizontal menu bar above. Remember, if you have any questions, just send me an email, and I'll get back to you soon.

To get us started, click on any button on the menu to the left. Let's explore!
