Coastside Land Trust: Renowned International Bird Guide, Alvaro Jaramillo, on Raptors at Wavecrest

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
VIDEO. Sponsored by the Coastside Land Trust (CLT), recorded August 7th, 2021.
Renowned international bird guide, Alvaro Jaramillo, returns to share more about our local raptor population, living at the Wavecrest Open Space.
Wavecrest is the single most important site on the San Mateo Coast for wintering raptors, which can be seen hunting in the property’s broad fields. Raptors and other species rely on its expansive grasslands, wetland areas and roosting sites, all of which are an integral part of the coast’s ecological health.
Famous for its variety and numbers of resident and migratory raptors, Wavecrest is the place to see them all, including White-tailed Kites, Northern Harriers, Turkey Vultures, Sharp-shinned/Cooper’s/Red-shouldered/Red-tailed/Rough-legged Hawks, American Kestrels and Falcons.
