Field Trip: Owls

Sat, Jun 20, 2026

6:00 PM — 12:00 AM

Leader: Lance Benner

This trip will explore mid- to high-level habitats in the San Gabriel Mountains for species that regularly nest in the area: Flammulated, Western Screech, Great Horned, Northern Pygmy, and Northern Saw-whet Owl.

We’ll start by searching for northern pygmy owl and montane diurnal species before sunset, and will then look for other owls after it gets dark. The trip is scheduled when Flammulated Owls are most vocal and easiest to find. Common poorwill is also possible.

Limit: 10 people.

Reservations are required and each party is limited to no more than 3 people. Information regarding when and where to meet will be emailed to participants shortly before the trip.
