Natural History Wanderings

Lake Tahoe Bird Festival is Saturday June 12, 2015 10am  to 3:30pm

We are partnering with the Forest Service again for this fun and informative family event. Learn about bird research happening in the area, go on a bird walk with a local bird expert, and see live birds of prey for the whole event as our falconers will be there all day!

The event includes guided bird walks along the Rainbow Trail every hour from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a bird art contest for all ages, information on migratory birds and spotting scope use, and a presentation by Master Falconer Marie Gaspari Crawford that includes live birds of prey.

All of the festival activities, except for the off-site bird walks to other birding locations, are located at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center in South Lake Tahoe. Participating agencies include the US Forest Service, Falconer Marie Gaspari-Crawford and California Department of Fish & Wildlife. The Taylor Creek Visitor Center, located three miles north of South Lake Tahoe on Highway 89.
