Bird/Nature Photography: Sweetwater Wetlands 11/07/2023

Cost: $12

Sweetwater Wetlands is one of the top birding areas 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. Recent sightings include an Orange-crowned Warbler, a Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, a Cassin's Kingbird and a Spotted Sandpiper, just to name a few. The various types of waterfowl are always a treat!

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 Photography Club at 8 AM for carpooling. We will leave for Sweetwater at 8:15 AM.

GVR has started a new waiver requirement, and the waivers are now good until December 31st. You may sign the waiver at the Photography Club or the morning of the trip, if you have not completed one already.
