Morongo Valley’s Big Morongo Canyon Preserve will be hosting a new series of guided nature walks for bird enthusiasts starting this Saturday, March 2nd.
Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is an internationally recognized birding site, a regular nesting area for several rare or unusual species and many other species abundant during the spring and fall migration seasons. The Preserve has been designated as one of the United States’ Important Bird Areas by the American Bird Conservancy, the American Birding Association, and Watchable Wildlife National Program, and is featured in the National Geographic Guide to Birdwatching Sites.
Expanding on their long-standing Wednesday morning bird watching gatherings, Ranger Kaeliegh and volunteer Kathy Snyder will begin a new series of Saturday nature walks, “Birding for Fun”, beginning this Saturday, March 2, at 8 am. The walks will generally cover 2-4 miles, so please wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring drinking water. Children are welcomed but must be accompanied by an adult. If you don’t have binoculars, the guides will have loaners to lend.
