Green Speak Monday: San Francisco Birding

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Welcome to another week of San Francisco green knowledge. Last time, I gave a shout out to Method, a company based out of the Bay Area. This week, I researched a more down-to-earth option.

Tweet, tweet. The birds in San Francisco chirp a friendly greeting and want us to come on a bird-watching walk this summer. San Francisco Nature Education hosts the event the first Saturday of every month. I have never scouted out birds, so this would be a fun first. If we sneak along, we might catch a glimpse of a Red Breasted Sapsucker or California Quail. Cole can then let me know how the California differs from the Kansas version.

Plus, after this early morning bird walk, we can visit the San Francisco Botanical Garden (where the bird walk meets). The one in D.C. oozed pretty and cool, so I am sure this one is no different. I guess I get that interest from my parents. Perhaps all those random garden tours didn't go completely to waste.

Beyond bird-watching, Bay Nature lists as many as 23 events on any given Saturday for the month of November. I can't wait until they populate the summer calendars so I can pencil in fun adventures.
