Not Just a Field Trip…AZFO Field Expeditions
We have designed these expeditions with our mission to study Arizona's birdlife in mind. By joining a Field Expedition, you will contribute to our understanding of the seasonal status of birds across the state. We may organize an expedition to observe a rare bird in an understudied region or participate in a survey better to understand the winter distribution of a more diverse species.
What we learn from these expeditions will help us better manage lesser-known areas throughout the state, benefiting both birds and the habitats we share.
We consult experienced ornithologists to identify areas that require study, making these outings a perfect example of community science in action. We handle leadership, locations, and logistics; all we need is YOU to help gather the data.
Upcoming Reports:

Field Expeditions and Workshops!
AZFO is committed to enhancing bird identification skills and overall knowledge of distributions of Arizona's birds through Field Expeditions and Workshops. To support these activities we have created a new “Field Expedition and Workshop" Fund to help cover related costs, including trip leader compensation and expense reimbursements, insurances, communications, supplies and equipment, and all other expenditures that the board deems necessary to maintain and improve these programs. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated and would directly support our field expeditions and workshops.
