Santa Cruz Bird Club (1956-1981): A Brief History
A booklet commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Santa Cruz Bird Club. Detailing the history of birdwatching and ornithology in the county extensively, including before the club's creation, it then flows into a more social chapter with the occasional poem and excerpts from "Albatross", followed by a more technical section on notable bird sightings and facts collected over decades. The booklet ends on some final few member photographs and a list of past officers on the club.
