Join Fresno Audubon Society birding the Sierra Foothill Conservancy’s Black Mountain Preserve. Black Mountain is higher than the surrounding area which attracts many migrating birds.
.
Previous trips in April have recorded Lazuli Bunting, Wrentit, Black-headed Grosbeak and many warbler species.

This will be the first FAS birding trip to Black Mountain in several years. To reduce impact on the neighbors we will meet at the Park & Ride lot at the intersection of Highway 168 and Lodge Road (37.04446° N, 119.47273° W) and carpool up to the preserve. We will meet at the lot at 7:45 for an 8:00 AM departure to the preserve. We will depart the preserve by 1:00 PM at the latest.
.
Be sure to bring sun protection, water and lunch.

The road to the top of the mountain can be a difficult hike so be prepared. Please contact the leader Robert Snow if you have questions.
