Greenlee County AZFO Expedition 

November 9-10, 2024

​​

 

​Objective:

The purpose of this expedition is to visit current eBird hotspots with a low number of checklists.

Accommodations:

We plan to camp at Upper and Lower Juan Miller Campground (No fee).

Why Greenlee County? Explore diverse habitats, with elevations ranging from 9,000 ft to 3,000 ft. We will explore from mid-elevation pine/conifer to riparian drainages filled with various oaks, Arizona Sycamore, and Manzanita-dominant mixed chaparral. Some expected species include Steller's and Mexican Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers, Hermit Thrush, Bridled Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Vermilion Flycatchers, and Verdins. This is a great time of year to find eastern vagrants and Mexican species, alongside commonly expected species. We hope to add more data to the county and see rare birds!
