Field Trip to Starr Ranch

iLEAD Exploration visited Starr Ranch in south Orange County last week. Families observed how the scientists there catch birds and the reasons why. Learners were able to hold a couple of birds after observations were recorded and then release them. Families finished their time with a nature hike learning about owls, bats, plants, and much more. They even came across a mountain lion’s track from the night before, which had been caught on video (below). They also observed a King snake slither near the trail. Starr Ranch is definitely a gem in Orange County!
