Wetlands, and Landscaped Grounds. 2008-2013

Glen Ivy Hot Springs enjoys the benefit of being situated in what is called an “ecotone,” a place where two adjacent, but very different ecosystems blend together and support a greater number of plant, animal and bird species. In this case, the slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains meet the low California scrub brush— creating a home to over 175 species of birds. The joy of birdwatching has long been a source of curiosity and fascination for staff and guests here at the Hot Springs. The waters that flow out of Coldwater Canyon create a unique oasis environment that support both year-round resident and migrating birds. Ancient oak trees provide a home and food for Acorn Woodpeckers and

Nuthatches while the various palms on our lush Spa grounds offer just the right fiber for the Hooded Orioles to weave their hanging nests. We hope that this list helps you become more acquainted with our local and migrating birds as well as enjoy the natural beauty and mindful moments that bird watching can bring. Our resident bird expert, Glen Ivy Hot Springs CEO and President, Jim Root is always happy to hear from guests and add new observations to our collection.
