Hello!!
UPDATE: We had an amazing day! Stay tuned for our reports! Thanks to everyone!
The Wrenegades are going out on April 27 for an ALL Cochise County Birdathon hoping to find as many birds as possible! This is a completely new route for us and we are very excited to visit amazing bird hotspots such as South Fork in the Chiricahua Mountains, Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary in the Huachuca Mountains, and the bird magnet that is Willcox Lake. We hope to see birds we don't usually get on a Birdathon such as Coppery-tailed Trogon (yes, the name has changed!), Lucifer Hummingbird, and the rare Mexican Chickadee.
Join us for this fun ride! We'll keep you updated and we'll send out a fun and detailed re-cap after we go birding. It can't be missed!
Thanks so much for your support of the Wrenegades, Tucson Bird Alliance, and the birds of Southeast Arizona! Your donations go directly to conserving our special birds.
The whole team is on one page this year. Here is the starting line-up for your Wrenegades:
