Join us in celebrating spring migration by participating in our SPRING BLITZ field trips across Greater Zion. Spring is the best time to get out and experience the bird and habitat diversity of our area. In lieu of the Red Cliffs Bird Festival, we will be offering over two dozen field trips between Friday, April 24th and Saturday, May 9th. Multiple field trips will be offered on Fridays and Saturdays with a few weekday trips sprinkled in to provide participants with options.
Registration is required to attend these field trips with a limited number of spots available for each trip to ensure an enjoyable and productive time for participants.
The REGISTRATION LINK is now active.
A donation of $15 to the Red Cliffs Audubon is suggested for each field trip. Here is a link to our chapter DONATION PAGE if you would like to donate.
A big thank you to all the volunteer guides that are making this SPRING BLITZ possible. We are excited to share the beauty of both the birds and habitats in our area during the spring season!
