RED CLIFFS AUDUBON
FIELD TRIP AND MEETING SCHEDULE – 2010
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

July 14,
2010 - General Meeting - Have you noticed the birds panting in
the heat of the day? I think they feel like I feel . . . in
July. Birds need a little extra lovin' in summertime. Come
learn about birds of southern Utah at our next General Meeting of the
Red Cliffs Audubon. Things you can do in your yard to keep
them happy and abundant. Meet at the Tonaquint Nature Center at
7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 14th. Hear about the new Junior
Birder Program, and plans for the upcoming Photo Contest. Also we
have new info on all those Field Trips you want to
attend. If you have questions, call 435 673-0996.
July 17, 2010 - Field Trip
– 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 anyone has good suggestions for field trips they would like to do in
the coming year, please let us know! Contact Field Trip
Coordinator Kevin Wheeler at turtleherder@hotmail.com
