Raptors: Sonoma County’s wintertime visitors
Sonoma County parks are raptor favorites
Winters are relatively mild here, there are wild, open spaces and abundant food on land and in the water. And most important for raptors, our landscape has specific features that make it possible to soar and hunt effectively. 
Raptors look down from above to spot prey. But getting up to altitude is hard work and burns energy. It takes much less flapping to be pushed up instead by rising air. The steady upward breezes that occur along our west-facing hills, ridges and mountainsides make this kind of soaring possible. 
Raptors can be spotted in all your regional parks, but the best locations have good hunting and air currents. Hilltops, ridgelines and trails that border coastal plains and grasslands make the best observation points. 
Some favorite raptor-watching parks are Tolay Lake Regional Park near Petaluma, Spring Lake Regional Park in Santa Rosa, Taylor Mountain Regional Park and Preserve in Santa Rosa, Crane Creek Regional Park near Cotati, Laguna de Santa Rosa Trail near Sebastopol and Helen Putnam Regional Park near Petaluma. Bald eagles can sometimes be spotted at park locations along the coast and the Russian River.
More than 20 different raptor species call Sonoma County home at some point during the year, so identifying the various types of raptors can be made easier by joining local groups of raptor watchers who count and monitor their numbers in the fall and winter. Regional Parks offers free birding outings, and Sonoma Land Trust and West County Hawk Watch offer raptor-specific outings seasonally. Online apps, like iNaturalist, also offer guides and clues to markings and calls. 
Six common raptors to watch for

Red-tailed hawks
Red-tailed hawks are the most commonly viewed hawk, since many live here year-around, although many more pass through with the seasons. Sporting large wings with rounded ends, they perch on high poles when not soaring, hunt small mammals and form year-round pair bonds with mates. 

Cooper’s hawks
Cooper’s hawks are also fairly common here, with many more visiting in winter. They are relatively smaller than red-tailed hawks. They mainly hunt other birds, and are agile and fast.

 Palliative and hospice care
 

Palliative care focuses on comfort, quality of life and reducing suffering.
Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center | VA Boston Health Care | Veterans Affairs
VA Boston is equipped with the most advanced imaging technology available, and offers advanced interventional radiology services with many highly specialized procedures.
The radiology team consists of both technologists and radiologists. Each technologist is trained specifically for the test performed. The radiologists are medical doctors who interpret the resulting images. After they review your images and medical history, the radiologists send a report of the findings to your doctor who ordered the test. Usually you will not meet with a radiologist during your appointment. He or she will speak with your doctor about any significant findings or to learn more about you.
As we are an affiliate of Boston University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School, teaching is an important part of our mission. Our radiologists are regularly involved in teaching and supervising medical residents.
*Not all services are available at all campuses.

 Quick Facts Great horned owls are fierce predators with an appetite for skunks (an unusual yet regular part of their diet), birds (hawks and waterfowl), and mammals (usually mouse to rabbit-sized). They use their sharp eyesight, acute hearing, and specially edged feathers for nearly silent flight to hunt and capture prey stealthily at night. They are permanent residents year-round in the U.S. and do not migrate like many other bird species. Adult great horned owls lack predators, though they are sometimes harassed while at roosts or nests by crows calling loudly from branch to branch. What to Watch for Size 18-25 inches in length with a 4-5 foot wingspan and weigh about 3 pounds. Appearance Great horned owls are very large with conspicuous ear tufts on the head; their overall body color is mottled with reddish brown to gray or black and lighter streaked undersides; they have large yellow eyes with a reddish brown face bordered by black and a white throat. Nest They nest in hollow cavities, broken parts, or stumps of trees and in abandoned nests of squirrels, hawks, herons, and crows. They are also found on rocky ledges, caves, barns, and on artificial platforms. Other Signs to Look for Gray cylindrical pellets, which are clusters of indigestible, regurgitated parts of prey, such as bones, feathers, and fur. Whitewash or liquid droppings. Where to Watch Great horned owls are quite common statewide and are found in a wide variety of habitats including open and secondary growth forests and agricultural and open fields. They also can be found around cliffs and suburban or urban areas. What to Listen for Three to six noted hoots that are loud, consistent, and perceptible. Calling can begin in late summer and continue throughout winter. In the summer, the young fledglings cry loudly for food, which is often mistaken for the cry from a bobcat or fox. When to Watch: They are usually most active at night, but also may hunt during the day. They can be seen perched in their nests starting as early as January or February.

For more information, please read our Trail Tips!
When you enter or leave Chaumont Bay: 

Clean and remove all visible plants, animals, fish and mud from your boat, trailer and other equipment and dispose of it in a suitable trash container or on dry land. 

Drain water from bilge, live wells, ballast tanks and any other locations with water before leaving the launch. Disinfect when possible. 

Dry your boat, trailer and all equipment completely. At least 5 days of drying time is recommended. Drying times vary depending on weather and material. 
Ask a Naturalist! 
Q: What are those mudballs on the gable ends of the buildings? 
A: Those "mudballs" are actually cliff swallow nests. Cliff swallows build their intricate mud nests on vertical walls, and when one is home you can see its white forehead "glowing" from the dim entrance. 
Q: Why can't I feed the geese? 
A: Feeding geese can lead to many problems. While they may be enjoyable to watch, feeding them will result in too many geese in the park. Their droppings on the sites can be a serious health hazard. Also, the lack of nutrition from the food that people give them may result in a condition known as angel wings, in which the feathers curl and the bird is unable to fly.
