Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors/Burton Chace Park is offering a birdwatching experience in various sites of the Ballona Wetlands. The outing begins with a brief lecture on an avifauna related topic and an overview of the Ballona Wetlands. The group will then get the opportunity to observe various bird species compete for resources in the shoreline and vegetation habitat. You will also be taken to some of the Great Blue Heron and Black Crowned Night Heron nesting sites.

This activity is for adults, however, children that do not require a car seat or stroller will be allowed to participate if accompanied by an adult. We will be traveling in a 15-passenger van driven by a California commercial licensed driver.

The following is a list of recommended items you should bring to the Birdwatching outings: water, snack, sunscreen, appropriate attire, and binoculars. The Birdwatching excursion is cost free, however, pre-registration is a must! To make a reservation, please call (310) 822-8530.
