Bird/Nature Photography: Tumacacori/Santa Gertrudis Lane 12/03/2024

Cost:  Free but you must register to attend

There are many excellent birding and nature photography opportunities nearby these locations.  Tumacácori National Historical Park and Santa Gertrudis Lane are excellent spots to see berry-eating birds as well as view birds bathing in the Santa Cruz River.  

Be sure to bring your National Park pass for entrance to the park.  Four members per vehicle are allowed per pass, so if you carpool, ensure at least one passenger has a National Park pass.

Bird and nature expert, Sandy McMahan, a long-time teacher and trip leader, will be along on this trip. 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. 

Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Participants need to be comfortable walking on trails of mostly flat, uneven terrain.  A hat and water are suggested. 

Bring your lunch so you can spend as much time as you want observing birds.

Meet at the Photography Club at 8:30 AM for carpooling.  If you are going to carpool with someone, the minimum donation for gas should be $3.00. We will leave promptly at 8:45 for Tumacacori/Santa Gertrudis Lane.

GVR requires that every person participating in Photography Club Field Trips must sign a one-time waiver absolving GVR of any liability. You may sign the waiver at the Photography Club or the morning of the trip, if you have not completed one already.

Mike McMinn will be our leader. For questions, email Mike at mikefore@comcast.net. If you must cancel on the morning of the trip, call Mike at 810-516-0220 so we won't be waiting for you.

If you need to cancel prior to the day of the trip, please contact Lynn Rozema, Field Trip Coordinator at 719-351-5193 or email at lrozema51@gmail.com as soon as possible. We may have people on the wait list to take your place.
