Sunrise Birding: An Experiential Walk and Talk with Diego Blanco

Listen to the birds sing with the rising sun in this early morning spring walk at Theodore Payne Foundation.

Learn and practice bird identification as a starting point for recognizing the many relationships between species that make up our local ecosystems. Learn which birds are year-round residents, which are seasonal visitors, what their primary food sources are, and more. A perfect time to tune into listening, observing and connecting to local bird life.

Please wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, bring water and dress for weather.

Diego Blanco is Administrative Assistant at Theodore Payne Foundation and studied environmental science at Cornell University where he worked in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He currently volunteers at the Moore Lab of Zoology at Occidental College and enjoys hiking and birding as often as he can.
