SUMMARY:Sweetwater Wetlands with Luke Safford, Alex Patia, and Donito Burgess
DESCRIPTION:Please note, we’re going to try something new. Instead of gathering as one large group of thirty and then splitting up, we will now be staggering start times for each group. This change will not only create a better, less crowded experience for everyone (including the birds), but it also allows us to increase the capacity of each group, giving more birders the opportunity to enjoy Sweetwater Wetlands.  We will be starting field trips at 7:00 AM, 7:15 AM, and 7:30 AM. \nTrip difficulty: Easy; Walking distance: ~1 mile, Trip Duration: 2.5 hrs, Elevation gain: none, but with chance of slight inclines/declines; Ground condition: groomed gravel trails. Drinking water and restrooms available at park’s entrance. Benches available at periodic intervals around the Wetlands.\nThis popular birding hotspot in urban Tucson offers an easy walk through marshes created by Tucson Water to see waterfowl, regular and visiting warblers, and several exciting species hiding in the reeds. Birders of all experience levels welcome! The Wetlands are located at 2511 W Sweetwater Drive. Limited to 12 participants per group.\nLeaders: Luke Safford (lsafford@tucsonbirds.org ( mailto:lsafford@tucsonbirds.org )), Donito Burgess(dburgess@tucsonbirds.org ( mailto:dburgess@tucsonbirds.org )) and Alex Patia (apatia@tucsonbirds.org ( mailto:apatia@tucsonbirds.org ))\n**Registration for Tucson Bird Alliance Members is free. Non-members can join this field trip for a non-refundable fee of $5.**\nHeader image: Vermillion Flycatcher by Greg Lavaty\n
