Join the Desert Museum for a delightful day trip to Southeastern Arizona's desert grasslands! These grasslands and surrounding agricultural areas are dotted with artificial lakes, ponds, and mudflats providing habitat for winter birds, including at least twelve species of raptors and numerous waterfowl (ducks and geese). Thousands of Sandhill cranes migrate from as far away as Alaska to spend the winter near Willcox. Join us for a spectacular day of discovery as we explore the Willcox area–one of the region's birding hot spots. We will meet at Park Place Mall and bring a sack lunch. Very little walking is required. Transportation included.What to Expect: Travel to Willcox playa with stops en route to observe birds and their behaviors. Maximum traveling elevation is 4,200 feet, sometimes on dirt roads. Program will operate rain or shine.
