Welcome to Hidden Birds

Look closely — small ceramic birds are hidden along California Avenue in Palo Alto, waiting to be discovered.

Hidden Birds is a public art project by artist Inna Razmakhova. On display August-October 2026. The project celebrates the connection between urban spaces and the natural world. Featuring hand-crafted ceramic birds inspired by California native species, it highlights birds found in our local neighborhoods, parks, and backyards, inviting you to slow down, observe, and learn more about the wildlife that shares our community.
