Kalkar

Map

     This old limestone quarry in Santa Cruz near the U.C. Santa Cruz campus offers a pond and marsh, riparian growth, and various exotic plantings. Go north on Spring St from High St, then left on Quarry Ln. Park at the end of the lane and take the trail across a small drainage. In spring and summer this is another good spot to see swallows, Vaux’s and White-throated swifts, and Hooded and Bullock’s orioles. Vagrant landbirds have been found during migration periods and winter.
