Nature/Bird Photography: Patagonia State Park 02/24/2021

Nature/Bird Photography at Patagonia State Park 

Cost:  $12

Birdwatching/photography is excellent almost anywhere within the Park or Natural Area.There will be two options offered on this trip.  Sandy McMahan will lead members around the lake on multi-leveled and sometimes rough paths.   In addition, there is a short birding trail that terminates at a spot on the southeastern bank of Patagonia Lake. The Park Service has installed multiple bird feeders of various types which attract a wide variety of seed-eating and nectar-feeding birds. There is plenty of room to set up your tripod and even a bench to relax while enjoying the wildlife.  You have your choice depending upon your mobility.

Bring a lunch and be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. A hat and water are suggested. 

Meet at the Camera Club at 7:45AM for carpooling, depart at 8:00 AM. If you don't feel comfortable carpooling, you can drive yourself.  There is a $15 entrance fee to the state park per vehicle. This cost is in addition to your trip fee.  You are encouraged to carpool and collectively pay for the entrance fee and reimburse driver for gas. 

Because the Camera Club is still not officially open, GVR is requiring that every person participating in club's field trips must sign a waiver absolving GVR of any liability.  Please bring your signed waiver with you when we gather for the trip. GVR is requiring that we provide them with the signed waivers as well as a list of field trip attendees.
