During this walk/workshop we will focus on providing participants with education on the placement of nest boxes for Screech Owls and Western Blue Birds.  This hands-on experience will provide participants with increased knowledge of how cavity-nesting birds support sustainable ecosystems.
In this environmental stewardship activity, participants will team to place cavity-nesting bird boxes to provide habitat for our feathered friends.  After the bird boxes have been successfully placed, the group will be led on a birdwatching walk co-led by our Bi-lingual, Bi-cultural Youth and Family Advocate and expert birder Dr. Joseph Zinkl, Professor Emeritus at the University of California at Davis.   This walk will cover basic bird identification in a family-friendly atmosphere. Participants will receive instruction on the basic use of binoculars, scopes, and field guides. Bring binoculars and bird indentification books.  To reserve your place on the walk, please contact Anya Perron-Burdick.
