SUMMARY:Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum: Birding the Chiricahuas
DESCRIPTION:Southeastern Arizona is a paradise for birders. Join us for three full days exploring different elevation habitats as we search for great birds! \nAmong our targets will be the Mexican Chickadee\, Elegant Trogon\, Montezuma Quail\, Painted Redstart and Red-faced Warbler.  We will also do some owling at night and set up a blacklight to see what insects we can attract. Our leader is Jeff Babson\, owner of Sky Island Tours\, who is an expert birder\, plus has a keen eye for butterflies and dragonflies. The price of this tour is all-inclusive covering three meals a day\, lodging and transportation from Tucson. \nWe will stay at the Southwest Research Station nestled in the oak-pine woodland of Cave Creek Canyon. \nMay 1 – 3

SUMMARY:Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum: Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon Ancestral Pueblo Cliff Dwellings and Monumental Great Houses
DESCRIPTION:Explore the most significant archaeological geography in the United States. Our tour focuses on Puebloan archeological sites of southwest Colorado and northwestern New Mexico.  Ancestral Puebloans blended work and worship; they were master artisans\, farmers\, astronomers\, traders\, and skilled engineers\, creating an extensive trade network throughout the San Juan Basin and beyond. Highlights include two days at UNESCO World Heritage sites\, Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon National Parks\, as well as Monument Valley\, Aztec Ruins\, and the seldom-visited sites of Hovenweep and Lowry House ruins.  The tour culminates with two nights at the former Harvey House\, La Posada in Winslow\, followed by a day exploring Hopi Second Mesa. Our personal guides are naturalist Jesús García and geologist/geomorphologist Fred Nials\, highly educated in Native American history and in the fields of archaeology and anthropology. This exceptional tour offers a unique opportunity to visit a vibrant archeological region with expert interpretation. \n  \nApril 27 – May 4

SUMMARY:Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum: Prickly Pear Harvest
DESCRIPTION:August is the season that the beautiful red fruit of the prickly pear cactus ripens. \nJoin us in harvesting this fruit\, cleaning it\, practicing three different ways of rendering juice from it\, and learning how to make jelly. But\, the fruit is only half of the edible goods! The tender green pads can also be eaten. \nThere are oh-so-many prickly pear species! Find out about our local ones\, as well as those from southern Mexico that have been bred for over a millennia to be spineless. We’ll show you how to select\, clean\, grill\, and pickle the pads\, as well as share other natural history bits surrounding the nopal.

DESCRIPTION:Arizona is home to both the smallest\, the Elf Owl and the largest\, the great Horned Owl. Not only are there significant differences in their size\, but in their biology and behaviors as well. Owls are cryptic\, more often heard than seen which has earned them an almost spiritual reputation. Suggestions on how to locate owls will be shared. Everything from their amazing hearing to their specialized eyesight are incredible adaptations. Although most owl species are fairly easy to distinguish\, we will discuss the subtle differences in the look-alike species.\nPrices and Registration Details
