19 September, 2021

Description

Talk a walk around Lake Cunningham Regional Park and learn about the plants and birds you see. Do you love being outdoors? Do you want to deepen your appreciation of nature by learning the names of birds and plants around you? Join us Sunday, September 19 when we resume our First Day of the Season beginners’ bird and plant identification walks through Lake Cunningham Regional Park. Lake Cunningham is a major destination for waterfowl and migratory birds, and its native garden is home to many residents and migratory birds for its habitat value. On this walk, Docent Vicki will show us how to identify the common birds of our area, as well as the native plants they depend on for food, shelter, and nesting places. Difficulty level: this walk is 4 miles round-trip on a level path. Bring a hat, water, your bird and plant list, and binoculars. Wear comfortable walking shoes! Lake Cunningham Regional Park is located at 2305 S. White Road, San Jose. Meet at the Marina Building at 9:00 a.m. The Marina is on the western shore of the lake, next to Raging Waters, at the opposite end of the park from the main entrance on White Road. In Google Maps, search for "Lake Cunningham Marina" to be directed there. Parking fee is $6. This plant walk is organized jointly by the California Native Plant Society, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, and the Open Space Authority, and is open to all. Space is limited, and registration is required!
