Such a wonderful haven for birders! We were delighted with the cozy ornithological decor, the availability of extra binocs, and the many feeders attracting birds from the nearby preserve, which is just around the corner. Was also fun to see other birders strolling by to see who was at the feeders. Had a lovely dinner at Spaghetti Western, came back and watched The Big Year, then had great diner coffee at the cafe up the street in the morning. What a lovely treat for our birder friend's birthday! Thanks, Jack and co!

Jack's is adjacent to the Big Morongo Preserve where unbelievably huge trees and greenery spring forth amidst the desert, inviting the migratory flocks of many species of birds. We met a volunteer who knew "Jack", praising his conservation and extension of habitat efforts; he helped us beginners ID many birds. Gorgeous! Jack's has its own bird observation area along with binoculars and books to identify your finds. This was our first visit, but we'll be back for a Nature Conservancy hike and program about the Preserve and other visits. You will love the house and amenities afforded.
