New Links Added

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Two of our partner organizations have developed websites. Links to those sites have been added to the list in the sidebar on the right.

The first of these is Antelope Valley Audubon, organized by a group of dedicated volunteers with some support from SFVAS.

The other is the website of the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Area, established by and for the Wildlife Area Steering Committee to keep the community informed of events and projects in the basin.

Check out both of the sites, as well as all the others listed there!

Arizona Field Trip 2009

Caution: Birders at Work!

Thirteen SFVAS birders met in southeast Arizona for 8 days of birding led by Michael McQuerry. We covered the canyons of the Huachucas, the San Pedro Riparian area, Willcox Ponds and Portal and the scenic canyons and high elevations of the Chiricahuas.

Altogether 156 bird species were seen with another 5 heard, plus some interesting reptile and mammal sightings. A great trip! All who participated want to do it again.
