Description: Mitchell Canyon on the north side of Mount Diablo is a magnet for migrating birds seeking a refueling stop, as riparian habitat is scarce in these parts. Along with migrants, we’ll observe a number of permanent residents and summer nesting birds.  We’ll look for warblers and flycatchers while enjoying early wildflowers and butterflies.

Distance: About 2 miles, with some elevation gain
Trail Type: Unpaved, uneven
