Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, Murrieta, CA.

Posted on by

Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve is home to many unique trees, plants and animals.

My dad, Dennis, has always been a bird lover! So, I thought I would share some of the birds that call the Santa Rosa Plateau home.

The Golden Eagle, White Tailed Kites, and at least 6 types of hawks: Red-Shouldered Hawk, Red-Tailed Hawk, the Marsh Hawk, Sharp Shinned Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk and Cooper’s Hawk. What an incredible line up! Outdoor magazine published an article all about the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve with some very interesting information.
