SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.—The U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the newly formed Tahoe Institute for Natural Science are teaming up for an International Migratory Bird Day Festival next Saturday at Lake Tahoe.

Officials say the June 5 event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center in South Lake Tahoe. The goal is to teach people about migratory birds and what scientists do to help them.

Free guided bird walks are scheduled from 8-10:30 a.m. at Spooner Lake, Cove East Restoration Area, and Blackwood Canyon. Space is limited and preregistration is required.

For walk registration, call Will Richardson at (530)587-6895 or e-mail will@tinsweb.org.
