Description
If you checked eBird prior to visiting Portal, you may already know about this spot. A self-described western xeric evergreen forest, this hilltop is absolutely raucous with birds, chipmunks, and squirrels. Warring hummingbirds will whir right up to you as you sit at one of the three feeder stations. Specific birds of interest include: Varied Bunting, Lucifer’s Hummingbird, Montezuma Quail, Blue-throated Mountain Gem, and many others! Bob will try to help you find quail in the evenings, though it has a rule to prevent people from coming and going during the quail search and flushing them. If you’re lucky, Mom the Coati may stop by.
These feeder stations are supported largely through donations, so please help support this area! It is a well-maintained treat.
On approach, look for a wood sign that says “Birders Welcome!”. You will climb a steep gravel hill (high clearance recommended, but not required) with some low hanging branches that will scrape the top of high-top vans. Class C rigs welcome on the right pad.
