Birding/Nature: Palo Duro Pond & Pena Blanca Lake 11/19/2024

Cost: Free but you must register to attend

Located in the Pajarito Mountain foothills of Nogales, Arizona, the lake is surrounded by grassy, oak-dotted hills, some topped with bluffs of limestone. This is a popular fishing lake, but you can see unusual birds and waterfowl as well. We will be visiting during migration season. The walking is easy on fairly level paths.

This trip will be led by bird and nature expert, Sandy McMahan, who is a long-time teacher and trip leader. Whether you're an expert birder/photographer or a beginner, you will enjoy Sandy's narratives. If you have binoculars, you may want to bring them along. A small notebook and pen or pencil would be useful to record your sightings.

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

Meet at the Photography Club at 8:00 AM for carpooling. We will leave for Pena Lake at 8:15 AM. If you wish to carpool, $11.00 is an appropriate amount to give your driver for gas.

Denise LeCount-O'Brien will be our leader. For questions call Denise at 309-830-0177 or email at rurt2dede@gmail.com.
