Birdwalks
Our monthly birdwalks take place the 3rd Saturday of every month and are open to all birders, beginning and
experienced alike. Join our expert birders who will help you to explore and know the birds of San Miguel at locations along the Rio Laja or other riverside habitat, where the diversity of birds is greatest and the changing beauty of the countryside can be appreciated.
Become a member to support our programs and
all of your birdwalks are free for an entire year!
