Prairie Canyon
Remote and spectacular, this is the canyon to come to if you want to get away from it all and have good birding at the same time. Habitat in the canyon is comprised of excellent pinyon-juniper woodland, with Gray Vireo, Pinyon Jay, Ash-throated Flycatcher, a chance at Chukar, and an outside chance at Scott’s Oriole. In the extensive sage flats on the way into the canyon look for Sage Sparrow and Sage Thrasher, and in the semi-desert shrubland scattered throughout watch for Black-throated Sparrow and Loggerhead Shrike.
