YOU ARE INVITED!

Sonoran Audubon Special Members’ Meeting

Monday, November 3, 2025

5:45 PM to 7:30 PM

Hummingbird Room

Foothills Library

19055 N 57th Ave, Glendale, AZ 85308

Open to all Sonoran Audubon Society Friends and Family Members and Friends of Friends! RSVP REQUIRED (see below)

Guests at this Special Members’ Meeting are SAS’ 2024 and 2025 Western Yellow Billed Cuckoo Survey Interns and our SAS Interns at Hassayampa and SAS. You’ll hear about their adventures learning about and counting these wonderful Cuckoos on the Upper Agua Fria River, at Tres Rios in PHX and at other sites in our part of Arizona. You’ll hear about the bird banding station at Hassayampa and meet our SAS off and on intern who helps SAS with managing the website and other tasks.

Our intrepid interns count Cuckoos on the hottest days of the year—from mid-June through August— when the birds arrive in AZ to build their nests and raise young. Bob McCormick, former SAS Board President and SAS Important Bird Area Coordinator and Tim Flood, long time SAS member and leader of the Upper Agua Fria River Annual Wet Dry Mapping surveys, are the senior guides and leaders for SAS’ interns.

SAS’ outreach to conservation science majors and recent college graduates through these internships is resulting in their participation with SAS and other AZ Audubon chapters. SAS always appreciates interns’ and others’ input to make this effort better and more far-reaching. We hope you’ll join us! —Sincerely, the SAS Board.
