Bird and Plant ID Walk at Lake Cunningham Park (San Jose) 
Sunday, December 21, 2025 09:00am
 
Contact meetup

With the onset of winter, join us for a beginner’s bird and plant identification walk through Lake Cunningham Park. This lake is a major destination for waterfowl and migratory birds and its Native Garden draws many birds due to its habitat value. On this walk, Vicki Silvas-Young will show you how to identify the common birds of this area, while Arvind Kumar will identify the native plants that they depend on for food and shelter.

The distance is 2 miles round-trip on a level path. Bring a hat, water, your bird and plant lists and binoculars. Wear comfortable walking shoes. 

RSVP is required to join us for the walk. No drop-ins please, and space is limited. Please visit our Chapter’s Meetup page, here: www.meetup.com/California-Native-Plant-Society-Santa-Clara-Valley-Chapter/. We open the RSVPs one week before the event. Find your event within the page and tap/click the “Attend” button to reserve your spot.

Meet at the Marina parking lot at 9:00am. Driving directions and parking tips are provided on our Chapter’s Meetup page. This event is cosponsored by CNPS, Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance and Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority.
