OC Birders
you may or may not be aware that Huntington Beach City Council is voting this Tuesday Dec 17 to likely approve a large project that will effect the Green Space area of HCP-East.
This project is to allocate and alter a larger portion of green space area in HCP east for 8 months of the year for a bleachers and fenced in area that will host the Symphony of Flowers light show. This show will have multiple nightly shows most nights with LED and laser lighting for paying customers.
The area that will be taken for this event will stretch from just north of the "island" and to just south of Lorens Gulch , and from east of Talbert lake to the path just west of the Gothard Parking lot. (this is the area used for the Labor Day Civil war re-enactments. )
see the detailed maps of the effected area and discussion at the below link which has the "enviromental impact report"
this could likely effect birds common in this area of the park. (the report has some info on how they are addressing the birds)
