Brochure: Owens Valley Birding Hotspots
The Owens Valley region supports some 100 or so birding locations where birders can spend a lifetime exploring, discovering, and studying various birds and their habitat. The Owens Valley’s wide-open landscapes provide an environment that supports hundreds of bird species.
This brochure presents several notable hotspots between Bishop and Olancha emphasizing a November through May season focusing on wintering species and spring migrants. It’s also a time when the weather is milder and fewer guests visit the region. The information presented herein comes from tow primary sources: the Eastern Sierra Audubon Society’s Eastern Sierra Birding Trail Map and the world-renowned eBird database and hotspot explorer tool. Most of the information describing hotspots and recorded species originated from eBird’s 2020 records of bird distribution and abundance.
