Citizen Science Bird Survey at Volcan Mountain, Thursday, April 20th, 2017

Date: 
Thursday, April 20, 2017 - 8:15am

Thursday, April 20th join Volcan Mountain Foundation partners the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) and Palomar Audubon for a citizen science bird survey on SDRVC's Volcan Mountain parcels near 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 the San Dieguito River Park.
 
'Down the Hill' volunteers will meet at Albertsons in Ramona at 8:15am and carpool to the survey site in Julian. For more info, and Julian-area volunteers, email Conservation Manager Jess Norton at jess@sdrvc.org for Julian location and timing details.
 
Get your binoculars ready – you might just see a Hairy Woodpecker or a Golden Eagle, both of which have been spotted during previous surveys. This walking survey is approximately 0.85 mile (round-trip) and provides stunning views of the Santa Ysabel East Preserve and surrounding area.

*Please note: The survey area is approximately 4,100 feet in elevation and will require some moderate hiking. Participants should come prepared with closed-toe shoes, long pants and plenty of water & snacks.
