Black Canyon Audubon will sponsor a field trip to Paradox Valley and other West End venues for a spring birding adventure. The Paradox Valley and West End areas have a great mix of habitats ranging from desert scrub to classic alpine to riparian, a llowing for a rich mix of birds during the spring migration. Nucla residents and Audubon members Coen Dexter and Brenda Wright will assist the group in checking out prime birding areas. We might see over 70 species.  Expect to see a variety of waterfowl, sage sparrow, vireos, yellow-breasted chat, grace’s warbler, black phoebe and a host of other migrants. Day 1 will wrap up near Naturita, so participants can access either hotel accommodations or camp for the night.

The Uravan Ball Park campground is open for our use, and the Rimrock Hotel (970-865-2500) in Naturita has newly renovated rooms at
reasonable prices. A potluck dinner for the 4th and breakfast for the 5th will be organized for participants.
The field trip is limited to 12 participants.
