Birding Outing: Old Mission Dam with Martha Wild

Old Mission Dam with Martha Wild and Joanne Sherif

The Old Mission Dam in Mission Trails Regional Park spans the  San Diego River, and is surrounded by a riparian habitat of reeds and willows. This quickly gives way to oaks and then coastal sage and scrub leading up into the neighboring hills. As such the region provides a rich habitat for a variety of birds: raptors, flycatchers, gnatcatchers, and sparrows are among the species found all along the various intersecting trails that lead out from the dam. Come join us for a lovely fall morning birding adventure.
