 TUMACNBAC – RAPTOR FIELD TRIPS – A FEW SPOYS LEFT!

Picture

GVAS POPULAR RAPTOR FIELD TRIPS

A variety of raptors winter in the Grand Valley with the open fields and desert among their favored habitats. Tumacnbac is Grand Valley Audubon’s most popular field trip conducted annually since 1987.

The valley has grown considerably since then and traffic has increased.
These 6-hour trips are by car caravan and for traffic safety reasons we encourage carpooling in no more than 4 vehicles and total of 6 participants plus leader(s).

We will meet at 9 a.m. at the parking area just south of The Baker’s Boutique, 726 24 Rd, the little white house at the west entrance into Canyon View Park. We will return between 2-3 p.m.

Dress for the weather, bring drinks and snacks or a lunch to eat along the way, we won’t be stopping for lunch. If you need binoculars, please let your leader know before the day of the trip. If you have a spotting scope bring it along.
​

A SUGGESTED $5 DONATION to help support Grand Valley Audubon is appreciated.

Just the name evokes exotic images of nature – leaping lemurs, bulbous Baobab trees, crawling chameleons, rare reptiles and brightly-colored birds. Join us for a photo “safari” by Renée Herring, a retired CPW Watchable Wildlife Coordinator, to explore some wildlife riches found on the island that time forgot.  The varied landscapes of rainforests, spiny deserts, lakes, and dry forests contain 90% of Madagascar‘s plant and animal species that are found nowhere else on earth. Lemurs, lemurs, lemurs!
