Hi Birders,
Yesterday morning, 20 birders found 43 species along the trails around the
San Pedro House. Migration has been slow along the river this spring. We
have plenty of the breeding birds like Northern Yellow Warblers, Lucy's
Warblers, Bell's Vireos and as of the past few walks Yellow-breasted Chats,
but true migrants have been harder to find. There are still plenty of
interesting birds to see and our fingers are crossed for a good influx of
migrants over the weekend.
Speaking of the weekend, this will be my last plug for this Saturday's
(April 25) Big Morning Birding Challenge which is part of the Celebrate the
San Pedro Festival. You can join one of the five birding teams and try to
see the most species for the morning challenge. You can get to all the
details via the Friends of the San Pedro River Facebook Page or by clicking
the link below and scrolling down to the festival information and links.
The Friends of the San Pedro River leads birding walks every Wednesday of
April. For the month of April, the walks leave at 7:00a from the BLM’s San
Pedro House south of State Route 90 just west of the San Pedro River. We
walk about 4km, and we are out for about three hours. Bring your own
binoculars, a hat and water.
The next San Pedro River birding walk after Saturday's festival is on
Wednesday April 29, at 7:00a.
