I need to scout it.” We might see Bullock’s Orioles, Lazuli Bunting, Western Kingbird, Lark Sparrow, nesting Barn Swallows and maybe others, along with resident woodland woodpeckers, raptor and passerine species. 

Restrooms are available at the start.   Bring binoculars, water and hat, and snacks if you wish.  Rain cancels. Check eBird list at https://ebird.org/barchart?r=L803636&yr=all&m=
