Lake Cunningham Bird and Native Plant Walk, 12/18/21 by Ronald Horii
On 12/18/21, there was this event:
"First Day of Winter Beginner’s Bird & Plant ID Walk at Lake Cunningham Park.
As winter sets in, join us for the fourth walk of its kind this year: a beginner’s bird and plant identification walk through Lake Cunningham Park. The lake is a major destination for waterfowl and migratory birds, and the park’s native garden draws many birds for its habitat value. On this walk, Vicki Silvas-Young will show you how to identify the common birds of our area, while Arvind Kumar will identify the native plants they depend on for food, shelter and nesting places." It was Jointly organized by the California Native Plant Society-Santa Clara Valley, the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, and the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority.
Vicki and Arvind have given this walk before. I went to this one on 3/18/18: https://tinyurl.com/wjwc8tev.
