UCLA Stunt Ranch 5/4/25

Project Phoenix and the Bruin Birding Club embarked on a journey to UCLA Stunt Ranch Reserve in the Santa Monica Mountains, where we enjoyed breakfast, listened to lightning talks, and went on a bird hike around the reserve.

Much like our visit in 2023, we heard about the incredible research and conservation work done at Stunt Ranch, and also heard about Project Phoenix’s mission and goals for the 2025 season.

On our bird walk through the reserve, some key birds we observed include many California Scrub-Jays, a few adorable California Quails, and a Northern Flicker. Check out this checklist to see all the birds we saw!
