Los Angeles Birding Spots: Chino Hills and El Dorado
06/27/24 • 48 min
In advance of our repositioning cruise, we had a few days to bird around LA. We've been there a few times before to bird, so we were searching for new spots and new birds. That drew us to Chino Hills State Park which is a great place for wildflowers, hiking, and Black-chinned Sparrows. Before jumping on the cruise, we had some time to spend at El Dorado Regional Park.
*the name of the museum we were trying to recall is Arizona Sonora Desert Museum - thanks Taylor! Additionally, we mentioned multiple times an incorrect name for the trail we hiked at Chino Hills State Park. It is properly named the Coal Canyon Trail, not the Coal Creek Trail. We apologize for any confusion due to the mistake we did not catch before publishing the episode.
