SUMMARY:Phoenix’s West Side with Kathe Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Trip Difficulty: easy, mostly birding from vehicles. Duration: 5.5 hours.\nThanks to studies conducted by Sonoran Audubon Society, there’s a great route around the Buckeye/Arlington area west of Phoenix, through agricultural fields that is reliable for Burrowing Owls and diurnal raptors, common desert species, plus waterfowl at canals and farm ponds. A recent trip netted over 50 species, including one Brown Pelican (very rare), White Pelicans, Sandhill Cranes and a Bald Eagle (reasonably reliable), among Western Meadowlarks, Loggerhead Shrikes and White-faced Ibis.\nThis is a long morning, starting at 7:30am in Buckeye and wrapping up perhaps 1ish. Lunch will be a picnic – perhaps without a picnic table. Mostly car birding. Limited to 7 vaccinated participants. Reservations required.\nMeeting place and carpooling logistics will be determined a few days before the trip.\nLeader: Kathe Anderson\nRegistration for this trip is free for Tucson Bird Alliance members. Non-members can join for a non-refundable fee of $5. \nHeader Image: Burrowing Owl by Mick Thompson\n
