Featured
Loons of the Kezar Lake Watershed

Join us for an inside look at the ongoing loon population study led by Lee Attix and KLWA. Over the past seven years, we've gathered valuable insights into the lives of these iconic birds—how they're nesting, feeding, and raising their young across the watershed. Discover the patterns we've uncovered, the surprises nature has offered, and the enduring mysteries that still inspire our work.

Led by loon expert, Lee Attix. Registration Required. Held at the Brick Church.
