Beginner’s Bird and Plant ID Walk at Lake Cunningham (San Jose)

At the onset of summer, join Arvind Kumar, Ashok Jethanandani, and Vicki Silvas-Young for a beginner’s bird and plant identification walk through Lake Cunningham Park. This park provides food, water, and shelter for our local breeding birds and its native garden is utilized by these breeding birds due to its habitat value. On this walk, you will learn how to identify the common birds of our area, as well as the native plants they depend on for food and shelter. The distance is 2 miles round-trip on a level path. Bring a hat, water, your bird+plant list, and binoculars. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Directions:
The park is located at 2305 S. White Road, SanJose. Meet at the Marina building at 9 am. 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 to the Marina. Parking fee is $6; bring exact change/bills.

RSVP is required to join us for the walk. Space is limited. No drop-ins please.

This event is organized jointly by CNPS, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, and Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority.
