The UCR campus is a bird hotspot for both permanent residents and seasonal migrating species (see ebird.org).

The UCR Botanic Gardens will host an early morning bird walk in the Gardens on March 9, 2024, from 7-10am, timed for ideal sightings and led by birding experts. The Bird Walk will be followed by a continental breakfast where participants share sightings and observations and learn more about the local avifauna.

Our bird walks are open to all levels of birders, from beginner to expert, and are a good opportunity for beginners to hone their skills. It is not unusual to see at least 30 species in a single walk.

Please wear appropriate walking footwear.

Please note parking is not included in event ticket prices. All vehicles parked on campus are required to have a valid parking permit at all times.
