Southeast Arizona Birding Festival Banquet & Culmination

Wrap up your festival experience with us as we celebrate more than just the new birds we’ve seen, but also the movement that birding is becoming—all over the world, and right here in Tucson. You’ll enjoy a delicious meal, receive a drink ticket, visit with friends, and hear from special guest Rosemary Mosco.

Rosemary Mosco is an author, illustrator, and speaker whose work connects people with the natural world. Her evening presentation, Bird Words: Finding humor and joy in birding and its terminology, celebrates birding with hilarious definitions and clever illustrations. This talk will highlight Mosco’s process, behind-the-scenes discoveries, and why birding definitions are so funny. You can find The Birding Dictionary and another of Mosco’s books, A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, at our online Nature Store or in-person at the Nature Shop booth in the Nature Expo. (Limit of 120)
