Our experienced Friends’ birding volunteer docent will share interesting facts about the Coachella Valley native species and other migratory birds found in the National Monument. We begin the search for our feathered friends in their native desert habitat on the Randall Henderson Trail into the lower sandy wash. We circle back and walk to the Visitor Center and the birding observation area. Then onto the Ed Hastey Garden Walk (paved) and tortoise habitat area. Total walking distance about 1.0 mile. Elevation gain is about 25 feet.
Bring your binoculars, 1 liter of water, sun hat, sunscreen, and camera. Sorry, no dogs are allowed for this event.
