Birds in the Scrubland

A scrub jay sits in a coyote brush.

Keep an ear and an eye out for signs of song birds. You may notice some elaborate calls and wonder where they're coming from in the brush. That's because several species like to hide out in the scrubland, though some may make themselves more prominent if it's springtime.

Some song birds that have been observed at Mori Point include the California thrasher, Anna's hummingbird and several species of sparrows. We have included images to help budding birders identify a few of the species often found here.
