We\u2019ll be walking about a mile on a flat, accessible trail, identifying birds not by sight, but by their calls, songs, chirps, and every other fascinating sound they make. It\u2019s migration season along the Sierra Nevada Flyway, which means the area will be teeming with species\u2014from hummingbirds and thrushes to hawks and owls. It\u2019s truly not an event to be missed!</span></p>
