  Spring in San Francisco brings fresh greenery, brighter mornings, and lively bird activity in Blue Heron Lake—so join us for a family-friendly Spring Birdwatching Safari around the lake.

  We’ll take a slow, stroller-friendly loop around the water, stopping to spot ducks, herons, cormorants, geese, and other spring visitors. Early spring is also nesting season for the lake’s famous herons, making it a wonderful time for little explorers to look up into the trees and watch for birds in action.

  We’ll provide custom Bird Bingo cards for kids, and families can enjoy light conversation, nature moments, and plenty of chirps and quacks along the way.

  Remember to wear your Cornell Red!

  WHEN:

  Sunday, April 12, 9:30–11:00 AM

  LOCATION:

  Blue Heron Lake Boathouse
  50 Stow Lake Dr E, San Francisco, CA 94118

  We will meet at the outdoor seating area directly in front of the Boathouse before beginning our loop around the lake.

  What's included:

  • Stroller-friendly nature walk

  • Bird Bingo cards (provided)

  Feel free to bring your family’s preferred snacks or warm drinks
