CA ~ Big Morongo Canyon Preserve

Western Tanager

Today's adventure's included a bird walk at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.  It started about 7AM and lasted about 3 hrs.  The leaders were excellent.  We saw 3 Mule Deer and lots of birds.  I saw 30 species though some in the group some more species.  12 were new life birds for me including Western Tanager, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Nuttall Woodpecker, Western Bluebird, White-winged Dove, Red-shafted Flicker, Coasta's Hummingbirds, Willow Flycatcher, Black-headed Grosbeck, Vermillion Flycatcher, Lark Sparrow and Western Wood- Peewe.
