About the Trip: Our next field trip will be to Pinnacles National Park, home to our California Condor. This two-day trip will start on Monday visiting Pinnacles National Park looking for California Condors and spring migrants. We will visit several areas in the park looking for oak woodland species: red-shouldered hawk, cooper’s and sharp-shinned hawks, white-breasted nuthatch, brown creeper, oak titmouse, California quail, acorn woodpeckers, and northern flickers. Visiting the canyon areas there is a possibility of a canyon wren, California thrasher, greater roadrunner, lark sparrow, sage sparrow, rufous-crowned sparrow, spotted towhee and a variety of early migrants. Flying high in the sky we can observe California Condors along with golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, and the possibility of several falcons.
