Bird Survey on Volcan Mountain, Thursday, June 17, 2021
Thursday, June 17: Join the Volcan Mountain Foundation for a citizen science bird survey on Volcan Mountain in Julian. This is a great opportunity to hone your bird ID skills with experts, learn about our local mountain bird species, and contribute valuable data to VMF. We'll be focusing our attention on the areas near our Watershed and Sky Island trails. There is a combined two miles of walking during this survey. Hiking is easy to moderate.
Thanks the Palomar Audubon Society for their continued efforts for bird monitoring on and around Volcan Mountain.
