Alder Creek Farm

There's a birder's trail at this farm, just a few miles down 101 from Manzanita.

I probably needed to get there much earlier in the morning to see any birds at eye level, but the trail was a rough path winding through fields of wild grass, with mountains in the background, and it was a nice hike.  The hawks and crows and swallows wheeled overhead -- far, far, overhead -- but there were bees and butterflies and dragonflies in the flowers which more than made up for it.
