Dan Bye’s Big Week In Arizona – NOTE LOCATION CHANGE!

This two-part presentation will start with an introduction of ‘How to Create an eBird Trip Report’ and then Daniel will share his ‘Big Week in Arizona’ through the final product of the trip report. Showing photos and new destinations traveled through the state of Arizona from August 10^th-17^th of this year in the pursuit of finding new lifers. Sharing details of several hotspots in the southeast and northern part of the state.

Composed Narrative of the Field Trip Report:

I had planned for this trip months in advance with the intent of finding new lifers to add to my life list. My goal was to find 45 new life birds to break through to the 500^th milestone on my life list. That did not happen on this trip but I completed the trip rewarded that I did my best. Our family, my wife and our two dogs, traveled a great distance together and made it to all of our destinations and learned a great deal more about the State of Arizona.

This Field Trip Report is the best way that I can share this journey for anyone interested in seeing the various bird species I saw at new locations I searched out.

The Arizona Big Week began on Sunday, August 10, the first day we entered the state. Since we were traveling in our RV, we setup our basecamp at various campgrounds we would camp for one or more nights.

This will be a hybrid meeting located at the Turtle Bay Museum Classroom. Located next to the Riverfront Bistro. Doors open at 6:30!

If you can’t make it to the Turtle Bay Museum Classroom you can join us on Zoom!
