ADDITIONAL BIRDING OPPORTUNITIES:
 
May through October, TUESDAY MORNING GUIDED BIRD WALKS in the Sandia Mountains sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service and Central New Mexico Audubon. Birders meet at 8:00 a.m. (8:30 in May and October) at the Sandia Ranger Station, 1176 Highway 337, in Tijeras.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNING BIRD WALKS AT THE RIO GRANDE NATURE CENTER STATE PARK located at the far west end of Candelaria Road NW.
The walks start at 8:00 AM (8:30 AM during the months of September, October, and November., and 9:00 AM in the winter months December-February). There is a $3 parking fee if you do not have a state parks pass or a Friends of the Rio Grande Nature Center parking pass. Both may be purchased inside the center after 10:00 a.m. for the cost of $40 for a one-year state parks pass (good for one year from date of purchase) and $30 for yearly dues as a “regular” member of Friends of the RGNC. The latter reflects a $5 increase as of 1/1/2008. During migration the walks may include a visit to observe banding activities. For the schedule of weekend banding, visit the most current spring or fall issues of the CNMAS BURROWING OWL at http://www.peacocklaw.com/nmac/cnmas/#newsletter
