| Mount Pinos Observation Point - Site # 143 | |||
| Background: | This summit overlook provides panoramic views of the greater Los Angeles Basin. The parking lot, a small meadow, and trails laden with pine needles offer glimpses of lodgepole chipmunks, mountain quail, and band-tailed pigeons. The forest canopy shlters mountain bludebirds, Clark's nutcrackers, Nuttall's and hairy woodpeckers, and five owl species, including spotted, screech, and flammulated owls. Northern goshawks nest among the conifers. Watch the skies for endangered California condors at various sites within the Los Padres National Forest. | ||
