SUMMARY:MDBA Field Trip -- Black Diamond Mines
DESCRIPTION:This trip includes a vigorous climb up a steep trail\, with an elevation gain of several hundred feet. Why make the climb? Because the location offers the best chance in our MDBA territory to see and hear Canyon Wrens! The trail is rocky\, and footing can be tricky—Be advised!\nThere is no guarantee of finding the elusive wrens\, but we will certainly see many other birds. California Thrasher\, Rufous-crowned Sparrow and Phainopepla are often seen here. At the worst\, we will share an adventure in a beautiful and historically interesting location. Be sure to bring enough water\, and lunch or a snack. \nRating: Category 3\, steep rocky trail\, potentially hot.\nElevation change: 600 feet\nLeader: Matt Tarlach\, MDBAFieldtrips@gmail.com\nMeet: Black Diamond Mines parking lot at the south end of Somersville Road.\nDirections: Exit Hwy 4 at Somersville Road in Antioch. Drive south\, enter the park gate and drive about 1 mile uphill to the last parking lot at the road’s end. \nThis trip is limited to 12 participants.
