Tucson Audubon Society

If you are a young person from 8 to 18 years of age who is interested in birding, or if you know such a person, sign up for the first field trip of the Tucson Audubon Youth Birding Club! Contact leaders Robert Payne ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , 520-867-0490) or Scott Olmstead ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , 520-840-9567). The trip will be a half-day of birding in local Tucson parks and birding hotspots. We’ll look for wintering species both common and rare, with emphasis on finding rarities that have been reported recently.We will end the trip at Reid Park with a lunch meeting in one of the ramadas. We hope the young birders themselves will play an important role in determining the focus and direction of the club. It is our hope that, beyond gaining and sharing birding skills, club members will gain an interest in natural history and take on citizen science projects that “give back” to the birding community and to wildlife. Regular club field trips will be on the fourth Saturday of each month. We will look at expanding field trip opportunities as the program grows and diversifies.
