Monsoon Sparrows at Las Cienegas NCA with Tim Helentjaris

July 23rd, Tuesday 5:30 AM

Monsoon Sparrows at Las Cienegas NCA with Tim Helentjaris

While many birds are going quiet this time of year, with the start of the monsoon, sparrows and other species are just getting started. We’ll focus on finding/detection, identifying, and studying several sparrows partial to these grassland habitats, including Botteri’s, Cassin’s, and Grasshopper Sparrows. Spotting scopes will be particularly helpful.

Easy morning trip to Las Cienegas with only short walks through the grasslands, we’ll be quitting before it gets too hot. Pit toilets available at Empire Ranch; bring water, snacks, sun protection, car-pooling required.
