Beschrijving

McClellan Ranch Park is a public preserve located in the Monta Vista neighborhood of Cupertino that still retains its rural ranch look. It used to be a horse ranch owed by the McClellan family in the 1930s, and still preserves the original ranch house, a working milk barn and livestock barn, and a replica blacksmiths shop, along with a natural reserve in the middle of the park. A famous birding hot spot, the ranch park also houses the headquarters of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society and a nature museum and environmental education center. The adjacent Blackberry Farm is a large park nestled in the heart of the Monta Vista neighborhood. The area is nice for birding for owls and woodpeckers.
