Trip difficulty: Easy. 1 mile loop on mostly level ground. Restroom facilities available.
Fort Lowell Park, in central Tucson features historic buildings and a bit of local history, and also offers a mix of urban and natural habitat, making it home to a wide variety of bird species.  We’ll bird the lawns and trees at the historic site for urban birds as well as the chance for sighting members of a small resident group of Eastern Bluebirds. The small pond attracts wintering ducks, especially American Wigeons. We’ll then bird the more natural area along Pantano Wash for Sonoran desert birds. The pecan grove attracts woodpeckers, and is also one of the best places to find a White-winged Dove in the winter months.  In all we’ll see 20-30 species. Meet in the main parking lot. Bring your binoculars. Wrap up by 9:30 am. Limited to 12 participants.
