Trip# 331: Birding Lee Vining Canyon
Tags:
Description: Lee Vining Canyon is one of the Eastern Sierra's premier birding locations. It offers a variety of habitats and breathtaking views. Of particular interest is the habitat progression as Lee Vining Creek drains from the high alpine mountains of Yosemite and Tioga Pass down through the canyon and into the arid sagebrush scrub surrounding Mono Lake. American Dipper, Townsend's Solitaire, Warbling Vireo, Yellow Warbler, and nuthatches are among the many species that we may see. (est. driving miles: 20; hiking difficulty: easy to moderate)
