Event Details

Join us for a scenic bird walk along Green Creek, a tributary of the East Walker River that originates at the crest of the Sierra, marking the boundary of Yosemite National Park. As we meander through the dappled light of the riparian forest, we’ll be on the lookout for an array of colorful characters. We will keep our eyes peeled for Green-tailed Towhees, Steller’s Jays, orioles, tanagers, and many more vibrant species! This location also holds historical significance—it was home to one of the nation’s earliest hydroelectric power plants, which played a pioneering role in long-distance electricity transmission. Bordering public lands managed by the BLM, it provides essential habitat for mule deer, black bears, beavers, and a variety of bird species, including the Northern Goshawk and the Bi-State Greater Sage-Grouse.
