If so, the Early Birds Club is definitely for you.
Desert Rivers Audubon Early Birds Club
In Desert Rivers Audubon’s Early Birds Club, starting naturalists ages 6 to 17 learn about birds, animals and the places they live.
Gilbert Riparian Preserve, where more than 200 species of birds have been recorded, is their classroom.
On the third Saturday a month from October through April the group gathers at the Desert Rivers Audubon ramada to learn binocular skills and some aspect of natural history. The time varies by season so watch your Desert Rivers Audubon newsletter.
Then they explore the preserve to see its feathered residents.
