You'll find me on the trail where I like to nest each spring...join me for a little hike.
From the top of the Eastridge Trail at Mira Vista Drive, we begin a casual stroll through my favorite nesting territory.
Pass through an open area filled with lantana, a bush that grows wild on this trail. Be sure to look out for poisonous leaves of three as you hike.
Keep on going on the trail through the open space where yellow blooms late each summer. Continue on, up a slight rise, passing a gate on your left. Enjoy the shade of the cedar trees in which I like to nest. Keep a look out for those leaves of three; they don't bug me but will likely make you itch.
Keep on going. After a couple more rises, watch for a dry (or if you are lucky a flowing) stream bed. Once you cross the stream and the trees open, count the cedars trees.
At the base of the second big cedar on your right, look for a pile of rocks.
Use your pokey stick to check for snakes, keep a look out for fire ants, and rummage under those rocks.
There you will find me nesting.

Hike length: 1 mile
