Looking for a nice stroll to enjoy with Mom this weekend? 🥾❤️ The Sea Wall Trail (the lower sea wall) is the perfect place to take the family. This half mile walkway is part of the city’s trail system and it's flat and paved, making it one of our most accessible trails. The lower sea wall does not allow dogs, but they are welcome on the upper sea wall. 🐶 There are restrooms on both ends of the trail. https://loom.ly/vGqBkng

Today is World Migratory Bird Day! 🌍 Let’s celebrate the amazing journeys of migratory birds, like the blue grosbeak, which travels to Carlsbad along the Pacific Flyway. 💙🐦 You may be able to spot a blue grosbeak around Lake Calavera Preserve. They like to nest near water sources and in mostly open fields with few trees and shrubs, but seeing one may require a little bit of patience. You’re likely to hear its distinctive song 👂before you see it —but they’re worth the wait! https://loom.ly/f1yev-4
