This month we are excited to take a tour of birding in Arizona led by our member Jeffrey Reichel. Jeff is an experienced birder and excellent photographer who lives in Pagosa Springs, but also spends some time in Arizona looking for new and beautiful birds.  This will be our opportunity to leave winter behind for an hour or so when he shares his knowledge and photographs of birds we don’t get to see here.  
  Jeff developed an interest in birds at a young age growing up in Wisconsin. For many years his fascination with birds was eclipsed by other interests.  According to Jeff, he took birding up again around 10 years ago when his wife suggested that it might be fun to do something other than just hiking.  Anyone who has followed Jeff up a trail knows that can be a challenge!

The public is invited to join us for our meeting on Wednesday, February 21, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis St.  We will gather at 6 PM for socializing  and the meeting will start at 6:30.  Please enter through the side door off the parking lot or let us know to open the main door for handicap entry.  In appreciation for our meeting space, we welcome donations of non-perishable food for the church food bank. Prior to the meeting, a link to join on Zoom will be posted here for those unable to attend in person.
