The 12th Annual Return of the Swallows Festival, sponsored by the City of Fremont, Ohlone Audubon Society, and Chabot College, will be held on Tuesday, April 22, at 11:00 AM at Chabot College.  In conjunction with the festival, we offer a field trip on Sunday, 4/27 to see swallows at Lake Elizabeth and Coyote Hills Regional Park.

1st Segment: At 10:00, Sandy will lead us along Lake Elizabeth and Mission Creek to view several nesting swallow species: Cliff Swallow, Barn Swallow, Tree Swallow and possibly others. From I-880, exit at Stevenson Blvd. and go east to Paseo Padre Parkway. Turn right on Paseo Padre and follow the signs to the Waterpark.  We will meet at the five tall palm trees at the north end of the Waterpark lot, south end of the lake.  Heavy rain cancels.
