BIRDING (AND MORE!) AT THE CASA:
Sheri Williamson and Tom Woods from the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (www.sabo.org) are again planning to do early morning River Walks at the Casa on Tuesday and Friday Mornings. (April and May). Pop in for an early starter of coffee and muffins,then meet them at the Casa back gate for a slow stroll out the back yard and down to the river to spot and learn about the many early morning birds. Return after the approx 3-hour walk for a full breakfast! See the calendar above for dates. Sign up for the River Walks at sabo.org - Casa guests get a discount!
Tom and Sheri are also conducting Hummingbird Banding at the Casa on most Friday afternoons during most of the Spring and Summer months and into September and October. (Exact dates and times are on their web site: www.sabo.org). And, see our calendar, above, for the dates.
The Hummingbird Banding happens in our back yard on (most, but check the calendar carefully!) Friday afternoons from 4-6pm. Join Tom and Sheri for a great hummingbird experience.
These hummingbird banding sessions at Casa de San Pedro are free to our resident guests.
For non-resident participants you must pre-register with SABO at their website and attendance is limited.
There is a small charge for participants not staying at the Casa.

Sept 15 - 16, 2023: What’s in a Bird’s Name?/Migration To and Fro
This is a full weekend program focusing on birds morning and evening, with afternoons free to relax at la Casa or explore the many natural and cultural resources of the area.
On the first evening, we’ll answer the question What’s in a name? At least, what’s in some bird names – with a random selection of well-named, poorly-named and people-named species, with some nicknames and historical names. On Saturday, we’ll look at bird migration generally, with some emphasis on the fall phenomena, which can be quite different from spring migration.
Choose one or both classes, each $30. Field trips included.
