The Ash-Throated Flycatcher that nests at Olompali
It’s always an exciting time to bird watch at Olompali! Beginning and experienced birders are invited to join leader Rich Cimino to view Olompali’s diverse avian residents as we walk the old ranch road to the park's reservoir.
Expect to see a wide variety of species that thrive in the park’s oak savanna and open grasslands: raptors, warblers, nuthatches, thrushes and – of course – many woodpeckers. Now after the Spring Equinox as the migrants arrive in the park as they fly north, we will be looking to see the effects of climate change on the northern migration. Sharpen your bird-identification skills, gain a deeper appreciation for our local ecology, and have a lot of fun along the way!
Wear layered clothing, walking shoes and bring binoculars, snacks, plenty of water and a birding field guide if you have one.
