Witness the fall raptor migration from The Wildlands Conservancy's 547 acre Estero Americano Coast Preserve, located on the southernmost section of the Sonoma coastline in Bodega Bay. While hiking through the grassy slopes above the Estero Americano, these remarkable aerialists will awe us with their acrobatics and grace as they make their annual migration south.

Dave Barry of "Wild by Nature Walks & Talks" will guide us in spotting and identifying birds of prey during our hike. Make sure to bring your binoculars to catch all the action!

Be prepared to hike approximately four miles with 500 of elevation gain over rugged terrain.
