Big Break offers a good assortment of birds on both land and water f rom sparrows and warblers to ducks, grebes, and gallinules. This is an inte resting new place for us to bird and well worth the hour and a half drive. We will then move on to Black Diamond Mines, which is the former site of th e Hazel Atlas Mining company. Here, we'll look for Canyon Wren, quail, swif ts, woodpeckers, raptors and more. Once again, these parks are well worth t he effort.
