Nature/Bird Photography:  Pena Blanca Lake/Hawk Watch in Tubac 3/18/2021

Trip Cost $12

Located in the Pajarito Mountain foothills of Nogales, Arizona, the lake is surrounded by grassy, oak-dotted hills, some topped with bluffs of limestone. This is a popular fishing lake, but you can see unusual birds and waterfowl as well. We will be visiting during migration season. The walking is easy on fairly level paths.

Upon our return to Green Valley, we will visit the Ron Morris Park in Tubac for the annual hawk watch.  Every March three species of hawks -- black, gray and zone-tailed -  migrate north on the Santa Cruz River. Tubac is said to be the easiest and most likely place to see them. 

The trip will be led by bird and nature expert, Sandy McMahan, who is a long-time teacher and trip leader. Whether you're an expert birder/photographer or a beginner, you will enjoy Sandy's narratives. If you have binoculars, you may want to bring them along. A small notebook and pen or pencil would be useful to record your sightings. 

Bring a lunch and be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A hat and water are suggested.  

Meet at the Camera Club at 8:00 AM for carpooling.  If you don't feel comfortable carpooling, you can drive yourself.  We will leave for Pena Blanca Lake at 8:15 AM.

Because the Camera Club is still not officially open, GVR is requiring that every person participating in club's field trips must sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.  Please bring your signed waiver with you when we gather for the trip. GVR is requiring that we provide them with the signed waivers as well as a list of field trip attendees.
