November 10: Los Angeles Arboretum Monthly Bird Walk

Sunday, November 10, 2024

8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Trip Leader: Katy Mann

We are excited to partner with the Los Angeles County Arboretum to offer free monthly bird walks to PAS members. Please note that due to new rules implemented by LA Arboretum these trips will only be open to current PAS members (and not friends of members as in past years). In other words all persons attending must be current Pasadena Audubon members -- either on their own, or as part of a PAS family membership.

Not a PAS member? Join here!

This field trip is offered by reservation only. To reserve a spot go to https://www.arboretum.org/events/bird-walk-with-pasadena-audubon-8/. Registration is scheduled to open at 9 AM on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT REGISTERING FOR THE ARBORETUM WALK: Evidently when the monthly Arboretum walk has reached capacity, the sign-up form stops functioning correctly. This issue is beyond our control. If in doubt, sign up early!

In addition to this month's LA Arboretum Bird Walk, PAS Member Merrilee Fellows invites guests to participate in a special interactive, on-site art exhibit after the birding. This outdoor interactive art installation is called “Archiving Eden: Exchange.” Artist Dornith Doherty presents a translucent structure adorned with 5,000 vibrant x-ray images of native California seeds. Over time and with viewer participation, the installation will change physically and visually, creating a living seed bank by replacing the colorful x-ray tiles with envelopes of single seeds. As a bonus, each participant is able to retain the x-ray tile of the seed “exchanged.”This exhibit is hosted by the Los Angeles County Arboretum. If you are unable to attend this additional event, feel free to revisit it at a later date. The exhibit runs through November 17. Visit the LA Arboretum website here
