MARK YOUR CALENDARS 2012-2012 Field Trip &
Meeting Schedule
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. Notice: Please read our liability waiver regarding future field trips. This signed form will be required for field trip participation and can be submitted to the field trip guide or a Red Cliffs Audubon representative prior to departure. Thanks for your cooperation--we appreciate it! **We are also planning longer field trips. Some will be overnight. To be announced later. Will have access of van for transportation. - Leader: Kevin Wheeler **Any changes to schedule will be updated on this site. Or for more information, call 435 673-0996. Just in case you don't know where we hold our meetings or meet for field trips, the Tonaquint Nature Park is located at 1851 S. Dixie Dr. (map) and the BLM is located at 345 E. Riverside Dr. (map) June 15, 2013 - Cedar Breaks National Monument We should see many good high elevation species as well; highlights have been Pine Grosbeak, Northern Goshawk, Clark's Nutcracker, and Peregrine Falcon. This is also a great place to find the elusive American Three-toed Woodpecker. Meet at the St. George BLM office in St. George at 7:00 am, and bring lunch. July 13, 2013 - Pine Park It'll be too hot to do anything in St. George, this time of year, so we'll head for the hills. Pine Park will provide a cool retreat in the ponderosas to watch for local higher elevation birds, including Grace's Warbler, Red Crossbill, Western Tanager, Mountain Bluebird, and Pinyon Jay. We will eat a picnic lunch in the cool shade. Leave the St. George BLM at 7:00 am. Bring a potluck item to share, and your own cups/plates/utensils. If you have additional field trip ideas, want to lead a trip (or more), or have questions, please let me know. Contact Field Trip Coordinator Kevin Wheeler at turtleherder@hotmail.com ***
