Think you’ve seen a lot of birds? Think again. Take your bird watching to the next level by joining this stroll along in Rancho Cordova. Cliff Hawley leads the walk, and it’s not entirely limited to birds. If there are other creatures or notable plants, you’ll learn about them, too. It’s an easy foray into the hobby of glancing at winged animals, and remember—you’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to catch some birds. 2140 Chase Drive in Rancho Cordova, soilborn.org.
