This is one of the best spots in the county to witness the breeding season in full swing. Western bluebirds, Bullock’s orioles, and lazuli buntings deliver an elaborate color scheme, while house wrens, lark sparrows, and warbling vireos provide background vocals. We’ll get an early start so we can enjoy just a little bit more of the morning chorus and activity. Total miles: 3. Elevation change: 400'. Remember to bring lunch, and binoculars if you have them. No pets are allowed, except for service/companion animals. Adverse weather or poor air quality may cancel. Registration is required.
Questions: Contact Shannon Burke
