Birding Opportunity at Rio Vista!

Here’s a chance to observe some of Rio Vista’s birds that you may never have seen before.

On Saturday September 21, Tucson Audubon Society (TAS) will sponsor a birding field trip to the park. Beginning birders are encouraged to attend. Participation in the trip is free, but space is limited, and registration is required. Find out more about the field trip and register here.

Gary Bachman and Scott Olmstead will lead the bird walk. Gary is Friends of Rio Vista’s conservation advisor. Scott leads international birding tours and has contributed many of his beautiful Rio Vista photographs to our publications and website.

Other TAS Rio Vista birding trips are planned for October and November—check the TAS website for details. Please note that this is a TAS event. All of us at Friends of Rio Vista encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity.
