Steve has birded extensively in Texas, Idaho (where his team set a Big Day record), and Arizona, and has birded in Florida, California, and Alaska. He has done survey work on endangered Golden-cheeked Warblers and Black-capped Vireos and conducts other surveys throughout Texas. Steve completed the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Home Study Course in Bird Biology and is the author of the electronic book (unpublished) "A Young Birder's Guide to Texas." Arizona presents wonderful opportunities for the naturalist. The "sky islands", isolated mountain ranges whose elevations reveal animal and plant species usually separated by differences in latitude, provide the setting. Bird species utilizing habitats ranging from Chihuahuan and Sonoran desert to the Canadian Zone are accessible by the discriminating birder. Starting each morning at low elevation, one can stay comfortable all day by birding the altitude with the greatest bird activity. This arid region also provides relief from the desert heat each day, a welcome change from a Houston summer. Tonight we will follow the itinerary followed in 2006 by the Victor Emanuel Nature Tours trip to Southeast Arizona, discussing the locations and the bird species expected on the OG trip this summer, July 22-29. Other Events May 10-13: West Texas Trip with Mike Overton and Tony Gallucci. May 19: Kayking in Gaiveston Bay with Artist Boat Inc. May 26: W.G. Jones State Forest and Breeding Warblers in Sam Houston National Forest with Steve Gross > The next issue of The Spoonbill (August 2007) will be published in late July following our usual summer break. Until then, Good Birding! Inside this issue: About the OG 2 March Meeting Minutes 2 Field Trips 3 Quarterly Trip Announcement 4 Trip Reports 5 170 years ago 7 Membership Form 8 |
