Birding just got easier in Sonoma Valley thanks to the release of a collection of trail maps that will take nature enthusiasts to all of the best birding spots within 30 minutes of the Plaza.
"There's really no place that tells you where to bird. I'm trying to put it all in one place. Honestly, no one has done this and I wanted to do it for us here in the Valley," said Tom Rusert, who founded SonomaBirding.org with partner Darren Peterie. The trail maps can be found on the group's website.
"You'd have to go to about 25 Google sites to even know where these places are," Rusert said.
