Mount Burdell Bird Walk

Join guest leader Heather Cameron and Jack from Wild Birds Unlimited for a summer walk on Mount Burdell. We’ll be enjoying the later part of the birdsong season and looking for young birds from summer breeders, including potential Bullock’s orioles, lark and chipping sparrows, lazuli buntings, and various swallows and flycatchers. We’ll also enjoy the year-round attractions of Mount Burdell, including bluebirds, acorn woodpeckers, and the magnificent oak trees.

Reserve your space by selecting your number of participants and clicking on “Confirm RSVP” above. This walk is now fully booked. To learn more about the birds of the preserve and explore on your own, check out our profile of Mount Burdell. We’ll be meeting at the main trailhead on San Andreas Dr. (see below for directions) at 8:30 AM on Sunday, June 9 and wrapping up around 11:00 AM. Note that this walk includes a few miles of leisurely walking on fire roads with a few hundred feet of gentle elevation gain. There are no restrooms or other facilities at this preserve.
