Desert Birding at Lost Dutchman
Lost Dutchman State Park
Thursdays, Monthly (November - March) 8:30-10 a.m.
Meet in the Palo Verde Day Use area and learn how to distinguish between birds and seek out our avian friends from hawks to hummingbirds throughout the trail!
Be prepared for a 1-mile, slow-paced bird walk on moderate, rocky terrain with a mild 150ft elevation gain. The program takes about 1.5 hours.
Please wear close-toed shoes, and don't forget water, a hat, and binoculars! Ages 10 and up are welcome. To increase chances of bird sightings, no pets please. Led by volunteer Hinde. The program is free with paid park entry. Free bird lists provided.
