Morongo Valley’s Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is celebrating Black Birders Week beginning this Saturday, June 1st from 8 AM to 12 noon.
To highlight Black nature enthusiasts and to increase the visibility of Black birders, Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is partnering with the Bureau of Land Management and the Wilderness Society providing a free, family friendly introduction to birding. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is an internationally known birding site with over 240 species of birds being recorded. Join The Wilderness Society’s California Community Partnership Manager Alicia Thomas, Manager of Sand to Snow National Monument Jihadda Davis, and Big Morongo Canyon Preserve Ranger Kaeliegh Watson who will lead this introduction to bird watching, looking for migrating birds as well as year-round residents. If you don’t have binoculars, staff will have some pairs on-hand so you can closely observe these wonderful avian friends.
