Poorwills at Mitchell Canyon

Take an evening hike up the north-facing slope of Mt. Diablo, where we hope to hear -- and maybe see -- nocturnal Common Poorwills, owls, and bats. We'll also listen to migrant warbler, flycatcher and other birdsong as dusk settles, and will look for other evening treats including night-blooming soaproot and scorpions.
