Birding in the Garden: An Experiential Walk and Talk with Diego Blanco

Join us for this special class walking through the TPF gardens, identifying local birds and the important relationships they share with native plants and other species. Learn which birds are year-round residents, which are seasonal visitors, what their primary food sources are, and more. A unique opportunity to listen, observe and learn about the beautiful diversity of the birds around us.

Diego Blanco is Administrative Assistant at Theodore Payne Foundation and studied environmental science at Cornell University where he worked in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He currently volunteers at the Moore Lab of Zoology at Occidental College and enjoys hiking and birding as often as he can.
