Bird Walk - Big Morongo
2026-05-03 08:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | CA
Big Morongo Canyon is one of the 10 largest cottonwood and willow riparian habitats in CA, which is why the preserve is one of the best places in southern California for migrant flycatchers, warblers, vireos, and other species, but it also hosts some great breeding birds. Among other species, we can expect to see (or hear) Summer and Western Tanager, Brown-crested and Vermilion Flycatcher, Bullock’s and Hooded Oriole, Yellow-Breasted Chat, Bell’s and other Vireos, as well as migrants and desert residents, such as Costa’s and Black-Chinned Hummingbird, Verdin, Gambel’s Quail, Ladder-Backed Woodpecker. In the afternoon we may look for Black-throated Sparrow and Scott’s Oriole at Blackrock Campground.Bring lunch, snacks, plenty of water, and layered clothing. This will be a joint trip with a small group of friendly birders from Sea and Sage Audubon in Orange County. Meet at 8:00 am at Covington Park. Take I-10 to Hwy 62, go north 10 miles to Morongo Valley and then turn right on Park Avenue. Trip Leader: Pete Robertshaw (909-771-9720)

Beginner Bird Walk - Rancho Sierra Vista / Satwiwa
2026-05-13 08:00
Conejo Valley Audubon invites birders of all experience levels to attend our monthly Beginner Bird Walk at Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa. These walks are held on the second Wednesday of each month. We will meet at 8:00 am at the main parking lot, accessible from Lynn Road at Via Goleta in Newbury Park. Rancho Sierra Vista is an excellent place to see many of the oak woodlands birds that are common in the Conejo Valley area. We will take time to introduce beginning birders to these species and teach the best techniques for locating and identifying them. Wear comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing, and bring water.
