> "Festival for the Birds" on 28 May begins with an early morning birdwalk on zoo grounds. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the quiet and peace of the zoo before the zoo opens to the public. Zoo staff will lead small groups around the zoo, with special emphasis on trying to locate some of our migrants (e.g. Western tanagers, Warbling vireos, Black-headed grosbeaks, Bullock's orioles, warblers, flycatchers, etc.). Children and all level of "birders" are welcomed. Meet at 645AM at the south gate (Fremont and 50th St. entrance). The walk should last about 2 hours. Please bring binoculars and appropriate clothing. Please call 684-4822 and leave a voice message. Space is limited to the first 50 people who RSVP.

> Members: free; non-members: general admission.

Concurrently this weekend is the Grand Opening of Willawong Station, an interactive walk-thru Aviary in the Australasia building, that features parakeets, cockatiels, and rosellas. For a small fee, visitors are allowed to feed these birds millet.
