Leader: Donna Smith and Kathy Dashiell

The date for the Thrasher Trip is changed to Jan. 22nd. This is because all the thrashers are singing now!  We hope to see Bendire’s, Crissal, Sage, Curved-billed and last but not least, Le Conte’s.  Also Sagebrush and Bell’s Sparrows [ I will go out ahead of the trip and if I see a Bell’s and can catch them, I will put a teeney-winnie bell on them]

We will meet at the gas station on Jack Rabbit and I-10 at 7:30, there is a rest room there. Please bring water, good hiking boots, snacks and a scope if you have one. We should leave the area around 11:30.

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.
