Sunset birding outing at Dreamy Draw Recreation Area with Robert Carter

About this event

You don't always have to be up at the break of dawn to enjoy birds and birding! Join us for a sunset hike as things get cool in the valley. We'll make our way around Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, which is a home to great sunsets, and interesting habitats, showcasing some of the best the Sonoran desert has to offer. We will make our way around both paved, and uneven, and downright rocky trails, looking and listening for endemic and visiting wintering birds. Seeing of the monsoon rains brought any wildflowers, and generally enjoying the dramatic landscape and our time together outdoors. Dreamy Draw Recreaton area does have restrooms, lighted paths around the parking lot, and paved opportunities in the event anyone would like to stay in the developed area, which has benches, and ramps for accessibility. We will meet at 4:00pm, and walk at most 1.5 miles along the Dreamy Draw nature loop trail with an elevation change of 180 ft Bring: Layers (you might want to remove them once we get moving), optics you like using (binoculars are available for use), water (or a vessel to fill at the trailhead water fountain), rugged walking/hiking footwear. Optional gear: Headlamp in case you'd like to stay a bit later Available spaces: 15 Leader: Robert Carter
