I drove 2.1 miles along road from trailhead, heard a saw many sparrows. Approximately 3 sparrows every 30-35yds along the road. The habitat is thick Bachanis, milkweed, California sage some Ponderosa Pine. Drive to triple fork in road. Take road N to Faners Also Thick with sparrows -- steep habitat, thick Bachanis. Fox Sparrows prevalent and Golden-crowned Sparrows. This Road is good sparrow habitat up to point where road forks. The new fork goes to Faners (caretakers) the main road stays to the left. Sparrows are present along the road but it is patchy -- beautiful ocean views. Sparrows are present all the way to the end of reserve property 1.35 miles past road to Faners. At the end of the property there is a small ranch w/ sheep and horse the Road winds down to Highway 1. There is a locked gate, 0.4 miles beyond the Farm. The habitat past Faners is grassy, patchy, tumbles with patches of Baccharis & willows in the gullies.
