Expect to be hot—and hot on the trail of returning shorebirds.  We will start from Scottsdale about 5am to arrive in Glendale before the sun comes up. We will prowl the wetlands hoping for the usual variety of birds—mostly ducks, raptors and other water-loving species like Black Phoebes, Pipits and Swallows, but we will hope for an abundance of shorebirds returning from points North.  Perhaps we will get lucky with some unusual species for the desert, like Dunlin or Whimbrels. We will find a cool indoor spot to go over the list. Bring water! Return to Scottsdale by 10am. Difficulty: 1-2—mostly even footing, and lots of walking.

Limit 6. 

$4 per person gas money recommended for your driver. Donations in Kathe’s car will go to CEDO.
