Bird/Nature Photography: Tucson Audubon's Paton Center for Hummingbirds 3/7/2023

 Cost:  $17

 NOTE:  This trip is designed especially for those   members who have mobility issues.  There is a   covered sitting area which is easily accessed through   a beautiful butterfly garden.  You can simply sit and  enjoy/photograph the birds.

Located on the edge of Patagonia, the Paton Center for Hummingbirds is a place to explore and experience the special birds of southeast Arizona. It is dedicated to the celebration and conservation of hummingbirds—and all of southeast Arizona’s astounding biodiversity—through recreation, education, and sustainable living. 213 bird species have been reported for this cozy home lot on the outskirts of Patagonia, including Violet-crowned Hummingbirds, Gray Hawks, Varied Buntings, Thick-billed Kingbirds, and many more local specialties.

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 your lunch or lunch on your own.
