Bird Watching
There are three opportunities to bird watch in May, thanks to the Livermore (CA) Area Recreation and Park District:
Birds of North Livermore
Sunday, May 2 8:00 p.m.
It’s time again for our spring pilgrimage to the north side of town. We’ll be looking for birds in breeding plumage, breeding activity, and any signs of nests or young. This is an easy walk, appropriate for all ages and levels of birding experience. We will travel along a wheelchair accessible paved path. This program will last about 2 hours. For more information or directions, please call (925) 960-2400.
Ranger Patti Cole Marlin Pound Park
2010 Bluebell Drive
(across from Buckskin
Mother’s Day Birds
Sunday, May 9 8:00 a.m.
At this time of year mother (and father) birds are busy defending their territories, protecting their brood from nest robbers, cleaning out the nest, feeding their young’uns and teaching them the finer points of flying. We’ll take a long, in-depth look at the domestic life of these wild creatures on this birdwalk, which will last about two hours. Beginners are encouraged to attend. Don’t forget your binoculars and field guides; we’ll have a few to lend.
Ranger Pat Sotelo Sycamore Grove Park
Nature Area Entrance
Birds
Sunday, May 16 2:00 p.m.
Birds are one of the most diverse and, some would say, the most beautiful, groups of animals on earth. There is a wide variety in color, shape, size and habit. How did they get that color? How come they can fly? What exactly makes a bird a bird anyway? Join us to answer these questions and more about these wonderful animals.
