Pomona Valley Audubon scheduled on the same day lol;
| Sat May 2 | Big Morongo Canyon. A trip at the height of western migration for transient and returning species including Summer Tanager, Brown-crested Flycatcher and Yellow-breasted Chat. Carpool from Memorial Park 6 AM or meet on site. Leader: Dan Gregory 909-944-2259 |
Pasadena Audubon has scheduled a field trip too:
Saturday, May 16, 2015 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
This desert oasis and migrant trap offers great birding in the spring. Warblers, flycatchers, hummingbirds, and orioles are among the birds expected. At least one pair of Vermilion Flycatcher has been seen every spring in memory. Join us as we walk the trails in Big Morongo Canyon Preserve and into adjoining Covington Park, where you will enjoy one of the finest birding locations in Southern California, with over 250 species making stops at the preserve annually.
Directions: Allow 2 hours to drive from Pasadena. Take Interstate 10 east to route 62. Go north to the town of Morongo Valley and turn right on East Drive to the Big Morongo Preserve at 11055 East Drive. Meet at the information kiosk. Bring lunch, drinks, sunscreen, and a good broad-brimmed hat.

Apparently, early May is the best month for this bird haven; and I've visited this site already like 3 times lol. But to get a glimpse of Vermilion Flycatcher, the signature bird, is verra tempting...a package with Whitewater Preserve would be nice too, in fact one of the field trips did offer this?
