Big Bear Lake Vicinity Field Trip
NO FEE, NO SIGN-UP
Leaders: Nick and Mary Freeman. Meet in the Aspen Glen Picnic Area parking lot in Big Bear at 7:30 a.m. Take Hwy 18 or 38 to Big Bear Lake, then proceed about half way along the south side of the lake on Hwy 18 (Big Bear Blvd.) and turn south on Tulip Lane. The lot will be on the south side of this short street. Target birds include Williamson’s?and Red-breasted Sapsuckers, Calliope and Rufous Hummers, mountain finches and White-headed Woodpecker. Later, we may go to Arrastre Creek (east) or Upper Santa Ana River (south). It should be warm and there may be bugs, so come prepared. Bring lunch for a full day, and a Forest Service Adventure Pass. Those wishing to go owling with Mary in the evening (probably near Bluff Lake or Hart Bar Campground), plan to eat with us, and get a room for Saturday night as well.

Greenhorn Mountains & the Southern Sierra
Steve Myers (951) 634-9767
We will meet at 7:00 am (for breakfast), or 7:45 am (if you don't want breakfast) at Cheryl's Diner in Kernville (11030 Kernville Rd, Kernville, CA 93238-9765; map).
From Kernville we will head up into the Greenhorn Mountains. The Greenhorns are at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada, and offer extensive coniferous forests, wet meadows, and spectacular views. We expect to see many of the typical high mountain birds, and the Greenhorns are the southern range limit of birds such as the Pileated Woodpecker, Northern Goshawk, and Pacific Wren.
On Saturday night we will be camping at the Long Meadow group campground (toilets, but no water), just north of the Trail of 100 Giants (Sequoias!). We will visit nearby Holey Meadow, which is a great place for Flammulated Owl. Among the other localities visited on this trip will be the Trail of 100 Giants, Portuguese Pass, Tiger Flat, Sherman Pass, and possibly Kennedy Meadows. Be sure to have adequate food and water to last from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. We usually plan to stop at a restaurant for an early dinner before heading back to the Inland Empire on Sunday. This trip can be terrific for montane birds, butterflies, small mammals, and herps, and the scenery is unsurpassed!
Placerita I've already been there on PAS fieldtrip, Los Cerritos, well I did bird Bolsa Chica a lot which is in the vicinity, and although I haven't been to Big Bear, did bird WHW just yesterday at Buckhorn lol. But Greenhorn is a tad far...and it should be HOT there, ugh.
