Saturday Field Trip: Raptor Run

  • LDS Church 1285 North Bluff Street St. George, UT, 84770 United States (map)

Registration Site: Registration Site. Please register for this specific date or event.

Below are a few details including carpooling, etc, to help things go smoothly. Carpools will be reconfigured at Enterprise to minimize the number of vehicles in the caravan. Fewer vehicles will maximize participants’ chances of getting onto the birds.

Meeting Places and Time Frame:

 Carpools from St George:

  • 7:15 am- Meet up for carpooling at LDS church on N Bluff (1285 N. Bluff St)

  • 7:30 am- LEAVE time. Carpools cannot wait for latecomers

 Next: Carpools from Enterprise:

  • 8:15 am- Meet up in Enterprise (Sinclair gas station, 855 E Main St).

  • We will further CONSOLIDATE cars and riders in Enterprise before continuing. By reducing the number of vehicles in the caravan we increase the chances of everyone seeing the birds. We will split into two caravans if the group is large

  • 1:00/1:30 pm- Approximate end-time in Enterprise

    Note: Vehicles with higher clearance preferred due to possible soft/muddy roads.

About the Raptor Run:

The “RAPTOR RUN” to Enterprise & Beryl Junction is our most popular field trip.

Up to 10 raptor species are possible, plus winter specialties such as Northern & Loggerhead Shrike, Horned Lark, pipit, etc.
