Learn about birds of Sonoran Desert and migrant birds on this walk with Ranger Eric. We will meet at the Beardsley Trailhead off of Beardsley CSR Rd., accessed on the north side of Hwy. 74 immediately east of the highway bridge over the Agua Fria River (see map: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/assets/1/6/lake-pleasant-8×111.pdf). We will hike on the Beardsley Trail for at least 1 mile, which is rated as easy, with slightly rocky or uneven surfaces in places. Please wear sturdy footwear and sun protection and carry ample water and snacks for yourself. There is a self-pay station (bring cash) for the park entrance fee, which is $7 per vehicle. Maricopa County Parks annual passes also accepted. Limit 10 participants.
