This three-day-long birding workshop in partnership with Tucson Audubon Society is designed for “Southeast Arizona Birding Festival” parti cipants looking for insight into the ecological factors shaping the distrib ution and population dynamics of avian communities in Southeastern Arizona. Most of our time will be spent in the Chiricahua Mountains, the largest a nd most biologically diverse of the isolated sierras locally known as “Sky Islands.” Drawing species from six North American bio-geographical regions —three with their locus in Mexico—and spanning five of C. Hart Merriam’s li fe zones, the Chiricahuas are a living laboratory that supports most of the birds found in the American Southwest.
Leader: Rick Taylor and/or Joh n Yerger
Cost of a this workshop includes guided birding, all meals, accommodations, entrance fees, and transportation from Tucson, Arizona—$795.
