HUNTINGTON BEACH : Tours Are Planned for Bird Watchers

Share

Bird watchers are invited to explore sites in Huntington Beach and areas of the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge with guides on Saturday.

The event, a fund-raiser for the Bolsa Chica Conservancy’s scientific and educational activities, will involve teams of four, including a guide, competing to identify species.

There are numerous species of birds at the refuge not likely to be found anywhere else in the city. Last year, about 140 species were spotted, said Phil Smith, conservancy executive director.
