Pomona Valley Audubon - Southern California Local Birding Spots Grassy Hollow, Wrightwood

Grassy Hollow Visitor Center

Looking for a day outing? One of the easiest ways to see the elevational change in avian life from high desert habitates to top of the San Gabriel Mountains is the run up the back side of our mountains --- 15 Frwy to Highway 138 to the Angeles Crest Highway. The Visitor Center at Grassy Hollow, 6 miles above Wrightwood on Hyway 2 (over the ridge and snuggled on west face), offers a great high ridge stop with bird feeders and interpretive materials (PVAS members are helping develop list, ID charts and other) in a beautiful modern building.

Snow in the winter --- but pigmy nuthatch families, mountain chickadees, juncos, stellers jays, etc. even then. The Center and day-use camp grounds are open 10 am to 4 pm weekends during winter. Go to their Grassy Hollow webpage (PVAS is helping them get it up) for maps and more info.

PVAS Field Trip 2000 Sat., Sept 9, 2001 CHARLTON FLATS TO WRIGHTWOOD. Explore the high mountain areas of our local Angeles National Forest. This trip is good for both walkers and less so as we will visit several areas with nice visitor centers and bird feeders --- Charlton Flats, Chileo, Table Mountain, Grassy Hollow and other birding spots. Some can sit and watch the birds coming in while others wander, looking for more illusive woodpeckers and such. Bring warm clothes, lunch and fluids.
