Hi Birders,
This morning the Friends of the San Pedro River sponsored a bonus spring walk at the Millville trailhead in the San Pedro River National Conservation Area. We had 16 participants ranging from locals to visitors from New York, Ohio, Virginia, New Mexico and Texas. Given the recent weather we were happy to find the area cool, but not cold and breezy but not windy. In total we found 38 species. Highlights included some nice looks at Gray Hawks circling overhead, a very cooperative Belted Kingfisher and singing Canyon Wrens. The river had plenty of warblers with Yellow, Yellow-rumped and Lucy's all with numerous sightings plus a single Orange-crowned and a few of us were quick enough to get on a Virginia's Warbler.
On April 27 the FSPR will be sponsoring the "Celebrate the San Pedro" festival which includes a morning bird challenge. Groups will meet at 7:00AM at five different SPRNCA access points (San Pedro House, Millville, Hereford Bridge, Waters Rd., Escapule Wash). No fees or registration required, just show up to your favorite SPRNCA birding spot and join in on the fun. All levels of birders are welcome and encouraged. General information can be found on the FSPR Facebook Page:
Also, a reminder that San Pedro House bird walks happen every Wednesday in the month of April at 7:00AM. The next walk is 4/10/24.
