On September 21, Scott Olmstead and Gary Bachman led the Tucson Audubon Society birding field trip at Rio Vista. Participants and the trip leaders started at sunrise and saw 32 species of birds, with good looks at some tough-to-identify sparrows and warblers. You can check out the list of species here. It includes a couple of nice photos of a Greater Roadrunner.
Gary and Scott will lead more field trips at the park. The October trip is already full; the November trip will be posted soon. They’ll take a break in December and will resume in January. They appreciate the enthusiastic community response to these offerings.
Participation in the trips is free, but space is limited, and registration is required. You can check the TAS website for details. Please note that these bird walks are TAS events. But most of the September trip participants were Friends of Rio Vista supporters, and we encourage you to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities soon!
Thank you for being part of the Rio Vista community!
