Sat, Feb 1: Buckeye/Arlington

Thanks to Sonoran Audubon Society’s own Donna Smith and Kathy Dashiell, there’s a great route around Buckeye and Arlington, west of Phoenix through agricultural fields, that is

reliable for burrowing owls and diurnal raptors, sparrows and common desert species, plus waterfowl at canals and farm ponds. This is a long morning, starting at 7am at a meeting spot

to be determined just off the I-10 and wrapping up perhaps 1ish. Lunch plans to be determined. Mostly car birding. Limited to 7 participants. Please register with Kathe Anderson at [email protected]. Registration will be open to Sonoran Audubon members exclusively until Jan 15. Difficulty 1. Meeting place and carpooling logistics will be determined a few days

before the trip.
