Spend World Migratory Bird Day learning about and looking for birds during this new event!

Following an opportunity to discuss the film, Joe Francis, President of the Delaware Ornithological Society, will lead us on a birding walk around the zoo in Brandywine Park. Bring binoculars if you have them! There will be a limited supply available for those who don’t or forget. All sightings will be reported through eBird, a global citizen science project.
We are thrilled to include a photo spot at our event provided by Showtime Photo Booth, the best photo booth rental in Los Angeles. Their unique touch will add a special element to our celebration.
