SUMMARY:Southwest Wings: Spring Fling - Hunter Canyon Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join professional guide Kristy Gallo on a hike up Hunter Canyon where the 2011 Miller Peak Wilderness fire left its mark\, with the result being a unique combination of habitats that are home to a nice diversity of bird species.  \nThe initial hike is dominated by successional oak-scrub with birds like Crissal Thrasher\, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay\, Black-chinned Sparrow\, Spotted Towhee\, and Scott’s Oriole. Higher up\, the trail enters a stand of soaring conifers that were spared when the fire “jumped” the canyon; here we hope to find Band-tailed Pigeon\, Buff-breasted Flycatcher\, Grace’s and Virginia’s Warblers\, “Mountain” Pygmy-Owl and more. The pine forest wasn’t completely spared\, however\, and the scrubby disturbed habitat has been home to a resident pair of Rufous-capped Warblers\, which we hope to search for. Bring hat\, sun protection\, water and wear trail shoes.  \nHiking Difficulty: 4 difficult. Guide Kristy Gallo \n\nMeeting place: Parking lot next to La Sierra Grill Steakhouse just north of the junction of Highway 92 and Hereford Road at 6.30am. Map link \n  \n  \nSouthwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival is Arizona’s oldest birding festival. Since 1991 we’ve been offering small group trips through monsoons and droughts … and even a global pandemic.  \n​The Southwest Wings Spring Fling will run from Wednesday May 6 to Saturday May 9\, 2026.

SUMMARY:The University of Arizona: Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the cutting-edge of astronomical innovation on this 90-minute guided tour of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. Learn how pioneering engineering\, optical science\, and precision manufacturing come together to create the world’s largest and most advanced telescope mirrors—each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. \nLocated beneath the U of A’s football stadium\, the Mirror Lab is the birthplace of mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope\, a revolutionary new instrument with a 25-meter primary mirror composed of seven of our 8.4-meter segments. This next generation of telescopes will transform astronomy—probing the early universe\, revealing the formation of the first stars\, and potentially detecting signs of life on distant exoplanets. \nThe tour begins at the historic Steward Observatory\, U of A’s first research department\, established in 1917. After an introductory presentation in our iconic white-brick dome\, we’ll walk to the Mirror Lab for an up-close look at the unique processes involved—from melting glass to precision polishing and optical testing. \nJoin us and discover how the University of Arizona is shaping the future of space exploration and astronomical discovery.

SUMMARY:Southwest Wings: Spring Fling - Owl Prowl Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:The Huachuca Mountains are home to several sought-after nocturnal birds\, including Whiskered and Western Screech-Owls\, Common Poorwill\, and Mexican Whip-poor-will. \n On this trip\, local bird guide Jennie MacFarland will target these birds with the possibility of seeing many other nocturnal creatures. Please wear darker or khaki clothing and a soft material fleece or jacket; avoid light and bright clothing hats and anything that makes a lot of rustling noises\, such as crinkly nylon windbreakers.’ \n​Owl trips are conducted only at the spring event and\, like all birding\, there are no guarantees except that we will have a good time. Hiking Difficulty: 2 easy\, Darkness. Bring a flashlight or headlamp and field guide. Cameras are okay. Best suited for intermediate to advanced birders. Guide Jennie MacFarland. \n\nMeeting place: Ramsey Canyon Preserve parking lot\, at the top of Ramsey Canyon Road. Map link \n​ \n  \n  \nSouthwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival is Arizona’s oldest birding festival. Since 1991 we’ve been offering small group trips through monsoons and droughts … and even a global pandemic.  \n​The Southwest Wings Spring Fling will run from Wednesday May 6 to Saturday May 9\, 2026.
