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 Boz kuyrukkakan, Kaya sıvacısı, Kara Kulaklı Kuyrukkakan, Kızıl Kirazkuşu and Kınalı keklik. The hilltops are used by flocks of Ada Doğanı and Küçük kerkenez, and are often mixed with migrating species, like Ala doğan.
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.
