Birds-Sighting and Identification

Pre-registration required at scfh.org/events, and space is limited!
During this walk through the Desert Botanical Garden with birder Peter Herstein you will be searching for birds, not only by sight, but by sound. October is an excellent time for birding here, with viewing of over 15 different species a distinct possibility.  Highlights could include Rock Wren, Gilded Flicker, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-crowned Sparrow and Lincoln's Sparrow.  Bring water and a hat, and binoculars if possible. Peter will also demonstrate the use of the ebird, Merlin and birdNET apps. Wear shoes or boots with grippy soles. Hiking poles recommended. Bring a bottle of water and snacks. No Dogs Please!
