Tips for birding Zion Ridge Road
Driving either direction on Zion Ridge Road you will pass through big open country here, with lots of potential. The usual criteria for finding raptors apply: eagles may be soaring high on a sunny day and most raptors will be perched if it is raining. Perches are at a premium: check dead trees on wooded margins, utility poles, hay bales, fence posts. Scott Road, though it appears on the map, is not open to the public, and is almost always gated.
