The Big Sit!

MARICOPA AUDUBON SOCIETY’S

 28TH ANNUAL

Herb Fibel Big Sit!

Granite Reef Recreation Area

 A fundraiser to benefit MAS Youth Scholarships (Audubon Camp, AZFO Annual Meetings, etc.)

Saturday, 26 October 2024

A big thanks goes to Kathe Anderson for once again organizing this event, and to Cindy Marple for co-leading!

Sixteen of us enjoyed a beautiful morning at Granite Reef Recreation Area for the 28th Annual Herb Fibel Big Sit! Fundraiser. 

We had superb looks at a Belted Kingfisher working the river right in front of us, kiting, diving, flying and rattling. Other highlights were a Crissal Thrasher, Merlin, Coopers Hawk perched 10 meters from us in a snag overlooking the Salt River, a pair of Sora's in front of the cattails and a Greater Roadrunner working the picnic grounds, our last official sighting of the day. 

We tallied 52 species.
