Celebrate the arrival of our feathered friends during the winter bird migration. Kids can meet live birds in presentations by The Raptor Institute at 2 pm each day. Bird-themed crafts, face painting, and nature activities are planned for families. Conservancy naturalists will have spotting scopes and binoculars for use along the Loop Trail that overlooks San Elijo Lagoon, with excellent birding views. Kids will enjoy learning about bird migrations and how to recognize common birds.
