Wed, Dec 6 – thanks to Donna Smith of Sonoran Audubon Society, there’s a great route around Arlington, west of Phoenix, through agricultural fields that is reliable for burrowing owls and diurnal raptors, sparrows and common desert species, plus waterfowl at canals and farm ponds.  This is a long morning, starting at 6:30am in Tempe and wrapping up perhaps 1ish.  Lunch plans to be determined. Mostly car birding. Limit 8. Reservations required. Difficulty 1. Meeting place and carpooling logistics will be determined a few days before the trip.
