Nature Education Event for Kids Ages 8-12!

Join us for a special event just for kids on October 18!  Join FSPR education docents along with Rangers from Coronado National Memorial for a special program on the plants and animals of our area. Walk to the river, collect samples to view under a microscope, learn about animals and their adaptations. This is a free program open to all in this age range. This will be a great opportunity for home-school kids! It will last from 9 am to 12 noon. Kids should dress for the weather and bring water and a snack. The San Pedro House is located 7 miles east of Sierra Vista on Highway 90, on the south side of the highway. It is searchable in Google Maps.

Free! SEAZ Birds: The Missing Tracks

With spring approaching, birders will want to consult a free resource before heading outdoors locally: a digital audio collection called SEAZ Birds: The Missing Tracks.   This collection of the unique songs and calls of our regional specialties (missing from most birding apps) is now archived by the American Birding Association and available for online listening or for offline download into a smartphone music library:

https://www.aba.org/seaz-tracks/

The project was created by local birder Diana Doyle, who moved to Southeast Arizona to enjoy the unique birding region of the Madrean Sky Islands. Logging hours in the field, she noticed that many of the region’s unique borderland calls were missing in the popular national birding apps, whether it was a common species like Bewick’s Wren with its very different Mexican song, or a hoped-for rarity such as Eared Quetzal. SEAZ Birds: The Missing Tracks ultimately became a 117-track, 75-species, five-disc digital collection.
