Spring has officially arrived, and with it comes one of the most delightful annual events at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center—the Bird and Breakfast! This year’s gathering not only entails birdwatching but also offers a delicious breakfast for all who attend. It’s an opportunity for the community to come together, learn about local wildlife, and enjoy the beautiful scenery embellishing the trails.
Organized by Greg Dewey, the board president for the American River Natural History Association, this unique event continues to be a beloved fundraiser for the center. Dewey emphasizes that it’s about more than just food; it’s about building connections. Participants will embark on guided hikes with naturalists, spotting various birds and learning about their nesting habits, including some fascinating glimpses of hummingbirds.
What makes this year’s Bird and Breakfast particularly special? It marks the 50th anniversary of the Effie Yeaw Nature Center, a place where generations of Sacramento residents have shared experiences and created lasting memories. So, gear up for a nourishing breakfast served with a side of nature—this gathering promises to be a feathered fiesta!
