Bird/Nature Photography: Sweetwater Wetlands/Columbus Park 1/29/2022

Cost: $12

Sweetwater Wetlands is the top birding area in the Tucson metro area. This water-rich streamside riparian zone supports a huge variety of wildlife, including dragonflies, raccoons, hawks, bobcats and dozens of other species that make the wetlands their full- or part-time home.  Paths are flat and either decomposed granite or gravel.

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. 

Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A hat and water are suggested.  Bring your lunch so you can spend as much time as you want observing birds and activities that weren't visible when the reeds were very high.

Meet at the Camera Club at 8 AM for carpooling.  If you don't feel comfortable carpooling, you can drive yourself.  We will leave for Sweetwater at 8:15 AM.  Please wear your GVR Camera Club badge if you have one. 

GVR is requiring that every person participating in club's field trips sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.  You will be required to sign the waiver at the Camera Club before the trip departs.

Linda Gregory and Patty Ferguson will be our leaders.  For questions call Linda at 520-625-5121 or email at lsgregaz@gmail.com.

To cancel your registration contact Field Trip Facilitator at philr@iname.com.  Last date for refund is January 22, 2022.
