Walk among the monarch butterflies in the Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove with a state park docent. What else lives in the butterfly grove? Birds of course! Many different kinds of birds are present in the butterfly grove at the same time the butterflies are overwintering there. What is their relationship, and can they co-exist? We will observe the monarchs and discuss their overwintering behavior. Also, we will walk through this riparian habitat and look for whatever bird species we can find. Frequently we see Great horned owls, Osprey, Red-tailed hawks, Townsend’s and Yellow-rumped warblers, ruby-crowned kinglets, and many more.
Meet at the Monarch Butterfly Grove for an easy 1-mile walk that is W/C accessible. Bring binoculars, a camera (optional), sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and water.
