Description
The road towards the Petrified Forest is definitely worth driving slowly, and it is advised to stop and scan often. The slopes on both sides of the road provide great breeding habitat for species, like Isabellastenpikker, Klippespætmejse, Middelhavs-stenpikker, Rustværling and Chukarhøne. The hilltops are used by flocks of Eleonorafalk and Lille Tårnfalk, and are often mixed with migrating species, like Aftenfalk.
Next to the road, several pools are present which are used by livestock to drink. Both local breeding birds and migrating species come down here for a drink, so taking your time next to a pool, and having some lunch is a great idea.
