Lectures and Field Trips in August

Tucson Rudasill front yard

August is the classic time to visit southeast Arizona. The monsoons have cooled the air and greened the desert, and all the late summer breeders are singing, the “Mexican” specialties are fledging young, and northern migrants are passing through in large numbers. As if that weren’t enough, August is high season for vagrants from the Pacific and from Middle America. Who knows what this year will turn up?

There are plenty of opportunities to help me explore my favorite landscapes on earth. Why not come along?
