Garland Prairie

On Sunday November 17th I went on a Northern Arizona Audubon field trip to Garland Prairie. The trip was advertised as one for migrating/wintering raptors and this did not disappoint as we had excellent views of the 6 species seen - Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk, Northern Harrier and American Kestrel.

Other than the raptors we saw little - in particular no sparrows! The only species seen in large numbers was Horned Lark. We had a large flock of these near one of the tanks along Garland Prairie Road.
