Keep your eyes on the sky... 👀
November is migration season for raptors , so you may spot various birds of prey while out on your hiking adventures .
Here are some of the species that the Open Space Authority says to look out for:
🦅 Golden eagle
As lovers of grasslands + woodlands, these birds can be spotted at Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve.
🦅 Peregrine falcon
These California natives adapt well to urban environments (sound familiar?
), and are the fastest animals on earth — flying up to 240 mph.
🦅 Prairie falcon
Spotted on the grasslands of Máyyan ‘Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge, these birds can be identified by the brown markings on their backs + top of wings.
