How do birds find and eat their food? How do they decide where they want to live? These are questions that will be investigated at Little Parkies: Brilliant Birds. Participants will search for feathered friends and observe their behavior, and even imagine what it’s like to be a bird. Aimed at ages 4–6, the event also will feature games, activities, and a nature walk. It will be held on October 9, 10 a.m.–noon, at the Helen Putnam Regional Park in Petaluma. The cost is $10–$12 per family (up to four people); reserve a spot at tinyurl.com/yck5he8d.
