Birds of Thailand |
| |
Bob
Witzeman is well known for his informative
presentations. He recently went on a
Field Guides tour in Thailand, lead
by a resident of that country. Bob says
that the digital bird shots are high
quality - done by digiscoping birdwatcher
fanatics. Their guide also sent him
an awesome collection of digiscoping
shots taken over a period of time while
leading trips. This should be a wonderful
trip around Thailand with its fantastic
wildlife. Meetings are held in Dorrance
Hall at the Desert Botanical Garden.
The Garden is located at 1201 North
Galvin Parkway in Phoenix, which is
approximately 1/2 mile north of the
Phoenix Zoo. Dorrance Hall is located
off the main parking lot and entry to
the Garden. There will be signs directing
you to the meeting. |

Welcome Back Buzzards |

Celebrate ornithology and help the staff
and volunteers at Boyce Thompson Arboretum
say "hola, amigos" as the seasonal flock
of turkey vultures returns from their

vultures typically spend each morning
from dawn until about 8:00 to 8:30 a.m.
basking on Magma Ridge before gliding
away to spend their day foraging. Watch
the vultures, then learn about other
birds on our 8:30 a.m. guided birdwalk.
Arizona Game & Fish Department wildlife
rehabilitation volunteers will have
a living display of animals, birds,
and reptiles from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. near
