Join us for the inaugural meeting of the Southern Arizona Nature Journal Club!

COST: FREE (see disclaimer, below)

We'll be gathering at the parking area at Madera Canyon at 7am on Sunday, July 18th. From there, we'll make our way up the creek trail to the viewing area at Santa Rita Lodge, where Roseann will set up her spotting scope so we can take turns viewing and sketching hummingbirds and other feeder birds.

Others might want to explore up the creek for Trogons and other summer birds such as Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Red-Faced Warblers.

What to bring:

- field sketching kit and way to carry it on easy walk, though it can be up and down a few hills
- chair for early lunch, if you like, when we gather (in case the picnic tables are full and also we want to stay socially distanced)
- something to eat; we’ll bypass the potluck type sharing for now, until we’re farther away from the pandemic
- hat and/or sunscreen
- plenty of water!

We’ll stay within the area between the Picnic Area and the Santa Rita Lodge so people can find us wandering around.
