At 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27, in the cool of the auditorium, enjoy the interactive slide presentation, “Joy of Birding.”

Learn where to look and ways to identify some of the more than 300 species that either stay in Lake County all year or pass through during migration.

Follow the Saturday Joy of Birding program with a June 28, Sunday morning walk with bird specialist Brad Barnwell.

Barnwell scouts the park several times a week, so he knows exactly who is nesting, who has hatched and where they might be feeding.

Wear your walking shoes; bring binoculars if possible, sunscreen, hat and water.

Meet Barnwell at 8:30 a.m. at the visitor center ramp. Expect a great experience

During your visit to the park, be sure to visit the museum to check out mounts of local birds. The American white pelican overhead in the gift shop is always a pleaser, as well as the many new gift items.

There is no entrance fee to the park for attending scheduled programs, walks or visiting the museum.

The visitor center, including the gift shop, will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer. Guided walks take place on the second and fourth Sunday at 8:30 a.m.
