SUMMARY:Birding Walk-About\, Desert Willow
DESCRIPTION:Bird walk-\n\n\nGrab your binoculars and join a Friends volunteer docent birding expert to look for our feathered desert residents. In this unique urban area\, we are still able to find a little native desert environment surrounded by local trees and shrubs that many of our feathered friends call home. \nAs you walk on the sidewalk adjacent to the golf course\, you will find approximately 25-30 different species on your 2-mile walk-about. This is truly a “jewel in the desert” location to be enjoyed. \nBring 1 liter of water\, snacks\, wear closed-toed shoes\, a sun hat and sunscreen. Sorry\, no dogs allowed. \nRSVP is required. Check-in 15 minutes prior to start time. Ticket reservations begin 14 days prior to the event. A suggested non-refundable donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs. \nFor more information contact Friends of the Desert Mountains at 760-568-9918. \nNote: We will meet in the parking lot on the right side of Desert Willow Drive just before entering the golf club.
