ENCINITAS — The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy hosts free Family Discovery Days on March 19 and 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center. Families can participate in an egg-themed trivia hunt, face painting with nature scenes, and arts and crafts to take home. They will also have the opportunity to hold and touch live animals, take photos, and use spotting scopes and binoculars for close-up views of birds in the salt marsh, provided by naturalists along the nature center loop trail. The nature center is located at 2710 Manchester Ave. in Cardiff. More information: Call 760-634-3026 or go online to www.sanelijo.org/family-days.
