Description: We'll start the evening at Mitchell Canyon listening for bird calls. As twilight approaches we plan to be in the upper portion of White Canyon looking for Bats flying low overhead. Next comes the sounds of the Common Poorwill and Owls. The returning walk in the dark may turn up some interesting wildlife! Bring flashlight, binoculars, snacks, liquids, and hiking poles if you use them. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. Hike is about 3 + miles round trip, with some elevation gain. Register with the leader (Onesuperhiker@aol.com), Limited to 15 participants.
