San Diego Bird Alliance proudly presents... another Queer Hike!

This month: Hillcrest

These outings are a safe and respectful space for ALL queer-identifying persons. In this space, we expect everyone to be respectful of identity and chosen pronouns. Pronouns: What and Why

Join us for a nature walk that is for all people who seek a non-judgemental community, where we celebrate diversity among birds and birders. 

At the edge of the famous gay-borhoud, there is a shady urban canyon connecting to Balboa Park. It's a relatively short hike from one end to the other and connects to the Marston House via a bridge over the 163. Despite the clamor of traffic and busy neighborhoods, we can find lots of "backyard birds" like finches, sparrows, hummingbirds, and hawks
