About this event
Thanks to Donna Smith of Sonoran Audubon Society, there’s a great route around Arlington, west of Phoenix, through agricultural fields that is reliable for Burrowing Owls and diurnal raptors and common desert species, plus waterfowl at canals and farm ponds. This is a long morning, starting at 6:45am in Tempe and wrapping up perhaps 1:30ish. Lunch plans to be determined. Mostly car birding. Time: Leave Tempe at 6:45 AM and return about 3:30 PM. Note From Robert: You won't want to miss this, the diversity of habitats during winter is sure to serve up an array of species, and you can never go wrong with Burrowing Owls! Available spots: 7. Difficulty: 1.
