SUMMARY:Beginning Birding: Borrego Springs Resort (Easy) - FULL (waitlist)
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Tom Keffer and Lee Christie\, ABDNHA Volunteers \nIf you can’t tell a sparrow from a flycatcher from a wren\, this trip is for you! Instead of racking up species\, we will slow down and take more time with each individual bird\, learning how to identify them. We will be carrying a scope\, so you’ll get a good look at what distinguishes a bird. 1.5 miles\, no elevation gain\, easy trail. Meet in the ABDNHA parking lot by 8:50 am.  Bring snacks\, binoculars\, and water. Call 760-767-3098 to reserve. Limit: 10.
