About this Event
With the onset of Summer, join us for a beginners’ bird and plant identification walk to the Native Garden in Lake Cunningham Park. Lake Cunningham is a major destination for waterfowl and migratory birds, and its Native Garden is home for many resident birds for its habitat value. On this walk, Docent Vicki will show you how to identify the common birds of this area and Docent Arvind and Docent Ashok will identify the native plants they depend on for food, shelter, and nesting places.
