HAVE BINOS WILL TRAVEL!!!
The wonderful spring migration season we experienced quickly gave way to an extremely hot and humid summer. We do very few bird hikes during summer and there is no secret as to why. For thirteen of us, June held a wonderful birding experience. We ventured to, what I consider, the birding Mecca of North America. Southeast Arizona hosts some of the most unique birds that can be found within our country’s borders. We tallied a total of 150 species including such beauties as Elegant Trogon, Buff-breasted Flycatcher, Red-faced Warbler, Mexican Spotted Owl and 11 different species of hummingbirds. If you haven’t been bitten by the birding bug yet, you should give it a try sometime.

The first week of this past October, the McBirder's Birders ventured to San Diego County for some Southern California birding. We had a great trip tallying 194 species. Join us for a "slide show" of our trip and pick up some pointers for your next trip to one of the birdiest counties in America.

Birding Across State Lines  In store class
Sunday, March 25th 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Meet at the store at 1:00 pm            Cost: $3.00 per person

Birds do not recognize political boundaries and neither should birders. We will spend the afternoon exploring a couple of Kansas Lakes that have turned up really good birds in the past. We will start at Wyandotte County Lake then head down to Shawnee Mission Park Lake in search of the elusive "Jayhawk".

Meet at the store at 1:00 pm.         Cost: $3.00

People on the monthly e-Mail list know about more bird hikes than the postal list. Quite often I can squeeze in a hike (especially if something good is reported) and will send out an e-mail at the last second.
