SUMMARY:Birding Walk-About\, Desert Willow
DESCRIPTION:Grab 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. As you walk the perimeter of an open desert property adjacent to the golf course\, you will find approximately 25-30 different species on your 1-mile walk-about. This is truly a “jewel in the desert” location to be enjoyed. \nBring your binoculars\, 1 liter of water\, a sun hat\, sunscreen and wear close-toed shoes. Sorry\, no dogs are allowed for this event. \nRSVP required. Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to start time. \nNote: We will meet in the parking lot on the right side of Desert Willow Drive just before entering the golf club. View UTM/Map coordinates: 33.76560\, -116.36554  \nFor more information contact Friends of the Desert Mountains 760-568-9918. \nA suggested non-refundable donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs. \n   \n
