Sunday, April 6th...Birds of Fray


Join Fun Birding Tours' Richard Fray for a day of birding on his Birthday! This Birdathon is a laid-back attempt to find at least 100 species, visiting the stream and marsh of Sweetwater Wetlands, riparian woodlands of Madera Canyon, fields and ponds of Rio Rico, and birding hotspot Patagonia in what promises to be a fun day of birds, birds, birds! Richard brings his simple birding philosophy to the trip, enjoy it!

Saturday, April 26...Scott's Orioles


Sky islands are mountain islands separated by surrounding desert and grassland plains, and are among the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Tour the Sky Islands with Scott to witness firsthand the significantly varied bird species to be found in each life zone. Scott and team will aim for 75-100 species. The day will start with a visit to Agua Caliente Park before the team heads up the Catalina Highway, looking for new birds in each of the different life zones.

Sunday, April 27...Wrenegades


The Wrenegades will hit all the hotspots in this dawn-to-dusk Big Day. First, they start with high elevation species at Mount Lemmon before racing down to Agua Caliente Park, then across town for water birds at Sweetwater Wetlands. Madera Canyon will close an action-packed day of birding.
