This daybreak (6:00 AM) birding trip will explore the lush desert habitat in this area, avoiding the human activities by the early start!  The paths are level and an easy walk, about one-mile total distance and about 2-3 hours of birding, depending on bird activity.  Typically, wintering sparrows and resident species can be seen, and some early migrants should be around, such as Lucy’s Warbler and Ash-throated Flycatcher.

Difficulty: 2 (one mile walk)

Limit: 6

Bring binoculars, a field guide, hat, water, snacks, and personal hand sanitizer. 

Meet at parking lot north of Thunderbird on 84th St.
