Think of it as an open-house tour for bird-lovers. The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors is offering free bird-watching outings—including visits to nesting sites of the Great Blue Heron and Black Crowned Night Heron (pictured)—beginning April 15.

The sessions will take place in Burton Chace Park in Marina del Rey.

Each outing includes a lecture and an overview of the Ballona Wetlands, followed by something that sounds lots better than reality TV: a chance to “observe various bird species compete for resources in the shoreline and vegetation habitat.”

Pre-registration is required for the two-hour outings. More information is here.
