Eagles, Hawks & other Birds of Prey Tour at Jepson Prairie

Join raptor expert Larry Broderick and birder Earl Swenerton at Solano Land Trust's Jepson Prairie Preserve for their third annual Eagles, Hawks & other Birds of Prey Tour.  At this time of year participants can see red-tailed hawks, harriers, and kestrels, and will be on the lookout for migratory golden eagles, ferruginous hawks, merlins, and burrowing owls.  This will be an easy, meandering walk in a portion of Jepson Prairie Preserve only accessible with a Solano Land Trust guide. Bring water, a snack or bag lunch, binoculars, and waterproof boots. Come prepared for variable weather (bring layered clothes and protection from sun, wind, fog, and rain).  A donation is suggested but not required. Heavy or constant rain cancels -- call Broderick's cell phone at 707-975-7047‎ if the weather is uncertain.

Broderick has 25 years experience studying, researching, rescuing and rehabilitating raptors.  He loves to share his knowledge and field time with both novice and experienced birders.
