Do you love being outdoors? Do you want to deepen your appreciation of nature by learning the names of birds and plants around you? As fall begins, join us for a beginner’s bird and plant identification walk through Lake Cunningham Park.

Lake Cunningham is a major destination for waterfowl and migratory birds and its native garden is home for many resident birds due to its habitat value. On this walk, Vicki Silvas-Young will show you how to identify the common birds of our area, as well as the native plants they depend on for food, shelter, and nesting places.

The distance is 4 miles round trip on a level path. Bring a hat, water, your bird and plant list, and binoculars. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Parking fee is $6.
