Difficulty: Moderate. Will involve walking along mostly level trail but with uneven surfaces for around 2 miles, one area with steep stairs. Bathroom on-site.
Patagonia Lake is the top eBird hotspot in the state thanks to its mix of waterbirds and great riparian habitat. Mexican Duck, Neotropic and Double-crested Cormorants should be readily seen on the lake along with raptors, flycatchers, and tanagers along the Birding Trail. As one of the few “large” bodies of water in Southeast Arizona, you never know what could show up. Drive time to the meeting location from the festival venue is about 80 minutes, specific meeting instructions will be emailed beforehand. Limited to 10 participants.
