Small-group walk with two goals: search for fall birds, learn about leaf galls and miners along Cerrito Creek

Our nature-observation walks using free citizen-science apps resume Sat., Sept. 30, with an easy stroll along Cerrito Creek at the foot of Albany Hill.  We'll look for birds returning for fall or gathering in flocks for migration or winter -- and for strange bumps and tracks on leaves and branches. The free app Merlin will help you ID birds by their calls. We'll use the free app iNaturalist for the galls and miners --tracks on leaves and branches. A Sept. 27 free webinar can help!

Numbers are very limited.Please email usif you would like to join this walk. Please also email if you'd like early notice of other small-group walks observing nature.

Walks will be 2-2.5 hours, but distances are short and you can leave any time. All ages welcome -- kids should be old enough to take an interest; adults should be able to handle slight slopes and uneven terrain. Detail sent when you RSVP.
