Difficulty: Moderate (Some walking on mild slopes, and possibly rocky/uneven surfaces.)

We’ll explore the oaks to pines of the Catalina Mountains starting with Bear Canyon and the area around General Hitchcock Campground where we’ll search for Mexican Jay, Plumbeous Vireo, and Grace’s Warbler among others in the sycamores and pines. We’ll then head up to Bear Wallow and higher elevations for birds of the mixed conifer forest including Hairy Woodpecker, Steller’s Jay, and Hermit Thrush. Depending on timing and activity we may visit other locations. Limited to 9 participants.
