The San Lorenzo River bridge is the county border between Monterey and San Benito counties. The River itself is not much, except in winter floods, and often dries out by mid-summer.

The primary target here is Lesser Nighthawk at dawn or dusk during the spring and summer. It is just about the northernmost edge of its range here in Monterey County. On warm spring or summer nights, one might also here Barn and Great Horned Owls, Western Screech-Owl, and Common Poorwill. In daylight hours, look for resident Yellow-billed Magpie, Western Bluebird, and maybe Greater Roadrunner; in winter one might see Ferruginous Hawk or Mountain Bluebird (irregular and scarce).

Lonoak Road is a two-lane paved road from King City, winding through grazed grasslands and around barren hills, to the tiny hamlet of Lonoak at the north end of Peachtree Valley. It is typically not too busy but one must use pullouts and wide spots to stop to bird. The short-grass grasslands may be green after winter or early spring rains, and have wildflowers in March-April some years, but will be barren brown in summer. All the land on either side of the road is private ranch-land. Still, it sometimes feels like you are driving through South Dakota in the 1950s. Drivers need to use caution, though, for some fast cars or motorcycle clubs, or for large trucks with cattle or feed.
