Join the early birds on Mount Davidson, the tallest hill in San Francisco. Ornothologists have recorded nearly 200 species of birds on Mt. Davidson since the early 1990s, and around two dozen species of birds have been known to nest at the site. The habitat is a mixture of exotic forest and native coastal scrub and grassland, including a number of locally rare native plants.
Learn how management issues such as recreation and pets, as well as proposed habitat restoration efforts, will affect the hill's bird populations.
Dominik also has a keen eye for the fauna on the site, including meadow voles, garter snakes, and deer mice.
Walk Leader: Dominik Mosur
Dominik Mosur began birdwatching in San Francisco in 2001. Approximately 10 years ago he began leading bird tours around San Francisco for Golden Gate Audubon and other similar organizations. Dominik's main interest in the field of ornithology is to continually learn the status and distribution of birds in San Francisco and the Bay Area. He also gives private bird tours and lessons on how to improve field ornithology skills, and is the full-time animal keeper at the Randall Museum Animal Exhibit.
