Trip leader: Luke Tiller
The Antelope Valley is renowned as a great spot to see wintering raptors and more. We will hit a number of locations out in Palmdale and Lancaster looking for wintering specialties that tend to be harder to find on the coastal slope: Mountain Bluebird, Ferruginous Hawk, Prairie Falcon among others as well as the regular desert denizens like Bell’s Sparrows and Loggerhead Shrikes.
Participant number: 30, chosen by lottery.
Trip details such as how to get there and what to bring will be emailed to randomly chosen participants 3-5 days before the trip.
