from Arizona Game and Fish boating safety volunteers and
experience the joy of paddling your own canoe around the small
lake at the B&M Wildlife Area. Enjoy the serenity of being on
the water, get close to birds and animals, watch the fish below
you and generally enjoy the great weather and natural
surroundings!
Early
Birding Tours
Join volunteers from the Sonoran Audubon Chapter for a dawn
tour of the festival vicinity along the Salt and Gila Rivers.
This is your chance to see the birds and other wildlife of the
area at their best, prior to the arrival of the festival crowd.
Participation is by pre-registration only and is limited to 15
participants each day. Pre-register by email to McBobAZ@aol.com .
Please state which day (Saturday or Sunday) you plan to attend
this activity. Bring your binoculars, field guides and
comfortable hiking shoes.
Hikes
Guided hikes and walks will be offered during the festival.
This year the hike to Monument Hill is a must do. It is located
at the eastern edge of the B&M Wildlife Area – this Arizona
significant site will open your eyes to the history of the area.
Also, the 1.5 mile nature trail will be a hit. Walk the trail or
take the hay wagon ride around the site.
Nature Trail &
Beginning Bird Watching
Join festival and Audubon Society experts for Beginning
Birdwatching Field Instruction. Fixed observation stations
and small group excursions will allow visitors to observe the
abundant wildlife of the area, and talk to experts about how to
identify the birds or animal evidence observed, and details of
their natural history.
