Bird watching, or birding, is an activity that involves the observation, appreciation, and study of birds through sight and often sound. Birding at Pinnacles National Park likely reaches its peak with a sighting of the endangered California Condor. But with the park’s varied habitats of chaparral, oak/pine woodland, riparian, grassland, and scree communities and its location on the migratory Pacific Flyway, birders of all levels and ages can hope to see not just this charismatic, massive, and wide-ranging scavenger, but some of the 181 other species than have been documented in the park.
