Sonoran Audubon Society will begin bird trips again! We will be going to The Arboretum at Flagstaff on June 30th. The arboretum opens at 9am, and we will meet there. The Arboretum is on Woody Mt. Rd. Please sign up by calling 623-640-7926 or email rms15247at cox.net if you have any questions. Bring a lunch and water. We will get back in the late afternoon.

For now, trip attendance is limited to SIX or SEVEN persons who are not the guide or guides for the trip. This is so social distancing can be maintained as everyone crushes together in a group to try to see birds through someone’s scope.

Please be reminded of COVID protocol from the US CDC as SAS will be observing these measures: go to the latest guidance for personal vehicles at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/using-transportation.html#PersonalVehicles. Generally said, on SAS in-person Field Trips, share rides with your family and/or others who have been fully vaccinated. For those who are not fully vaccinated, for everyone’s comfort, drive yourself; if not fully vaccinated but are car-pooling, mask up and maintain social distancing.  For the un-vaccinated, the CDC says “get vaccinated”; for those in between 2-shot vaccination protocols and therefore not fully immunized, continue to mask up for these SAS Field Trips. And, for all of us, make sure your vehicle has good ventilation.
