Sunday, May 11th – 7:30 am
Leader: Ken Bales, kbales2003@gmail.com
The Nambé Recreation Area has a wide variety of habitats including a large lake for waterfowl and wading birds. Ospreys nest around the lake, so they will be possible. After birding the lake, we will go to the campground area where mature riparian forests are good for many passerine species. Depending on the birds, we plan to be there about three hours and return to the parking lot at the mall around or shortly after noon, possibly a bit before. Limited to 8 participants.
When: Meet at 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot in front of Starbucks at the De Vargas Mall.
Transportation: We will carpool from the mall. Consider chipping in some gas money for the driver, if it is not you. Drive time from the mall is approximately 40 minutes to the recreation area.
Cost: THERE IS A $20 PER VEHICLE CHARGE TO ENTER NAMBE RECREATION AREA. We suggest dividing the cost among members in the carpool. No other cost is involved. What to Bring: Binoculars, spotting scope if you want (the leader will have one and will share it), hat, sun protection, water, any snacks you might want.
