Wild in the City: Live Bird Presentation
with Liberty Wildlife
We all know Tucson is one of the top destinations for visiting birders, which makes it an extra special place for those of us who live here. But now and then, the native wildlife will get into trouble living in the city. What are the challenges the animals face? What can you do to help injured wildlife? Is there anything that people can do to reduce the risk of injury?
Liberty Wildlife Rehabilitation Foundation of Scottsdale has been helping sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife throughout Arizona since 1981, returning nearly 50 percent of these birds, mammals and reptiles back into the wild. Recently, Liberty Wildlife was inducted into the Arizona Outdoor Hall of Fame. Education team members Anne Peyton and Craig Fischer will discuss Liberty Wildlife’s work while presenting some of the birds who now have a new mission in life.

Seabirds and Marine Mammals - In Your Backyard
with Tad Pfister
ENCORE PRESENTATION:
Join us as Tad treats us to a visual exploration of the Gulf of California and its islands that support nesting seabirds such as Brown Pelicans, Black and Least Storm Petrels, and Yellow-footed Gulls. Be amazed by its diversity of marine life including whales, dolphins, and sea lions! Hear firsthand from Tad about conservation efforts taking place in the Gulf of California to track large whale populations, eradicate introduced species from important seabird colonies and to help the Mexican government better manage their fish populations that are directly linked to the success of seabird colonies.
