The City of Santa Cruz Water Department hosts its last “Loch Walk” of the season with a focus on migratory birds that use the park as a way station during their southern migration. The birding Loch Walk takes place in the Loch Lomond Recreation Area on Saturday, October 28 from 11:00am – 1:00pm. The park entrance fee is waived for walk participants.

Loch Lomond sits on the Pacific Flyway, which is like a highway in the sky for birds. During Saturday’s Loch Walk participants will visit different habitats at Loch Lomond in search of a variety of species of migratory birds.

Park entrance is free to Loch Walk participants. For more information please call (831) 335-7424.

The Loch Lomond Recreation Area is a 180 acre reservoir and part of the 2,800 acre watershed land holdings that the City of Santa Cruz Water Department manages in the Newell Creek watershed. It is open daily from late March through mid-October, when the park closes for the season.
