Birds in Naglee Park


 Naglee Park lies just 8 blocks from downtown San Jose, yet we have a remarkable diversity of bird life. The pigeons and house sparrows that dominate the downtown core give way to a variety of songbirds and others in Naglee Park. Here is a list of some of the birds observed by neighbors in Naglee Park. In addition, we have a checklist of birds in Naglee Park.
