2019 dates! announced all dates here, past 2018 and forward 2019



September 29th – 10am to 2pm
Lynch Canyon Open Space (Raptor Migration) Solano Land Trust, Saturday. 
Lynch Canyon provides raptors with over 1,000 undeveloped acres where they can hunt and rest. Each year from fall through late winter, during this viewing season, you can join other binocular-wielding people who appreciate the connection between Solano Land Trust's protected ranchland and open spaces and the birds that rely on the land as resident yearlong raptors in addition to its wintertime visitors. During fall and spring migration, the bird population can double or triple. “It's a wild, remote wilderness, and yet it's right in our backyard," says Larry Broderick. “Lynch has a great prey base, and that is a testament to Solano Land Trust's ecosystem management."
