8:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Trip leader: Omar Alui
It’s no surprise that in the quintessentially Californian chapparal and oak woodland habitat of the Lower Arroyo Seco, one can reliably find so many of our near-endemic birds, like Nuttall’s Woodpeckers, California Towhees, California Thrashers, and Wrentits. But this area can also produce some surprises! A Mountain Bluebird was seen here earlier in the year, and more recently, a Red-necked Phalarope. Meet in the parking lot west of the casting pond.
Participant number: no limit.
