For all our trips you will
need to bring your lunch and snacks (cold pizza is always good) and
plenty of water. Dress according to the weather and don't forget your
hat, binoculars and 2 way radios. Car-pooling is always
encouraged, saves gas and more important there is not enough safe
parking place where we stop. A long line of cars has drawn
attention by the sheriff in the past. Talking about birds with other
people is half the fun
Watch for details, more info and updates on your e-mail, at our Red
Cliffs web site and in the newspaper. Field trips destinations
occasionally change, especially end of year trips to areas that are
susceptible to fire. It is especially important to check the
monthly updates if you plan on meeting the group at any place other
than St. George BLM.
May 17,
2008:
Grafton/Springdale - this trip has become an annual favorite for
many.
Songbirds have set up territories and will be singing along the Virgin
River. We will visit the historical Grafton ghost town, and then
we'll
go to Springdale in the heart of majestic Zion Canyon. Highlights
from
the past have been sparrows, Summer Tanager, woodpeckers, and the
appropriately-labeled Canyon Wren. Meet at the St. George BLM
office
in St. George at 7:00 am, and bring lunch. For more information
contact Charles Odd at 435 634-0513 or codd@infowest.com
P.S. You will love the zillion flowers blooming this year.
