Bird & Wildlife Walk - One Truckee River & Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance
Saturday, April 11th, 10:00am-12:00pm
April is the season of songbird migration. How many can you spot?
Beautiful Warblers and vibrant Tanagers fly overhead, while Flycatchers flit to and fro - snatching bugs from midair. The fish-eating Osprey, a large bird of prey, circles above the river looking for lunch. And the Belted Kingfisher perches prominently on a tree branch before diving head-first into the water for a fish. Join us at John Champion Memorial Park to observe these fantastic birds - and more!
Get to know your community while learning about the birds and wildlife that call our neighborhood parks home – and why they matter. On April 11th, One Truckee River and Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance members will lead us along the Truckee River, helping us spot and identify the birds and other animals that depend on our watershed. Jaida Marinas and Cathy Schmidt will be leading the walk.
The Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance (NNBA), formerly the Lahontan Audubon Society, is a nonprofit focused on educating the public about native Nevada birds and conserving the remaining bird habitat in northwestern Nevada. Their goal is to create a welcoming birding community where people of all backgrounds can feel a sense of belonging.
Jaida Marinas is a UNR alumnus with a degree in Biology and a minor in Analytical Chemistry. Her hobbies include baking, writing, entomology, and birding. Jaida has experience in environmental restoration, conservation, and currently works in chemistry.
Cathy Schmidt has lived in Reno for 41 years and is a retired educator with a BS in Economics from Penn State. She has three grown sons and enjoys hiking, birding, reading, and traveling. She helped found The Friends of Lake Park and volunteers regularly with many local non-profits focused on caring for our natural environment.
