Birding Walk-About, Desert Willow

  • Desert Willow Golf Resort Parking Lot 38-995 Desert Willow Palm Desert, CA 92260 United States (map)

Grab your binoculars and join a Friends volunteer docent birding expert to look for our feathered desert residents. In this unique urban area, we are still able to find a little native desert environment surrounded by local trees and shrubs that many of our feathered friends call home.

As you walk on the sidewalk adjacent to the golf course, you will find approximately 25-30 different species on your 2-mile walk-about. This is truly a “jewel in the desert” location to be enjoyed. Sorry, no dogs allowed.

Bring 1 liter of water, snacks, wear closed-toed shoes, a sun hat and sunscreen.

RSVP is required and you must bring your ticket with you for check-in 15 minutes prior to start time. Ticket reservations begin 14 days prior to the event.

A suggested tax-deductible nonrefundable donation of $5.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs.
