Lower Camp Creek with Kathe Coot
May 13 @ 5:00 am - 10:00 am
- Wed, May 13 – Lower Camp Creek (NE of Carefree): This is on the way up to Seven Springs, north of Scottsdale. It usually hosts a zone-tailed hawk nest in the summer, which should have arrived by late April. Other birding includes desert species, and in the creek bottom, under huge shade trees, we can hope for orioles, tanagers, grosbeaks and other migrants that frequent riparian areas. The hike out will be toasty, but doesn’t last that long. We’ll start about 5am from Scottsdale and wrap up at an air-conditioned coffee shop about 10am. Difficulty: 2.5. Limit 7 participants. Logistics to be decided a few days before the trip. Please register with Kathe at kathe.coot@cox.net.
