Birding Hike on Black Mountain Preserve

SFC, Fresno Audubon Society, and the San Joaquin River Gorge Special Recreation Management Area (BLM) have joined forces to offer a collective birding series that combines instruction, exploration, and fun! Please join us for one or more of the three opportunities that will be offered this spring. There is no fee, but registration is required.

Join bird photographer Gary Woods and Point Blue biologist Jim Tietz for a leisurely walk to the top of Black Mountain during the height of the migratory season. On the hike they will discuss bird migration and bird identification. Black Mountain is known for its migratory bird activity, so be prepared to be impressed. The hike is a fairly easy 4 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 800ft.

     Birders of all skill levels and children are welcome. Meet at the Black Mountain office. Bring binoculars, lunch, water and sun protection. 

There is no cost, but register now as spots are limited!
