Join us on Save Mount Diablo’s stunning Curry Canyon Ranch on an exploration of All That Begin With B and Beyond – birds, butterflies, blooms, and more! We’ll hike up to Frog Pond Road and enjoy nature’s beautiful display along the way.

We may see: Birds – Western Bluebirds, and several species of Warblers and Sparrows; Butterflies – Skippers, Blues, Tortoiseshells, Crescents, and Whites; Blooms – Delphiniums, Shooting Stars, Milkmaids, Blue Dicks, and Buttercups; and maybe Bobcat and native Bees.

Be sure to bring plenty of water and a snack, and dress in layers. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended. Heavy rain cancels.
