South Lake Tahoe Friends of the Library will host an informative bird talk on Dec. 20 at 6pm.

Sarah Hockensmith of the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science will be talking about the 2018 Tahoe Big Year, a yearlong birding event that celebrates the hundreds of bird species that occupy the Tahoe region, and brings together birding beginners and enthusiasts alike.

This presentation will acquaint people with common and unique birds of Lake Tahoe, birding destinations in the Tahoe area, what a bird Big Year is, and how to get involved.

It is free and open to all.

The library is at 1000 Rufus Allen Blvd., South Lake Tahoe.
