AZFO Field Expedition
Hualapai Mountains and Kingman Area Migrant Traps

May 22-23

OVERVIEW:

Early June is peak timing for northeastern AZ vagrants. With this eastern location, we have the potential for finding vagrants along with new county birds. Primarily we are interested in increasing general knowledge of the counties and discovering previously unknown birding areas, but we always hope to find regionally and seasonally unusual species. We will conduct our usual inventory of all species in these areas, to gather more ornithological information on this sparsely covered region.

Hope to have you along!
