Southwestern New Mexico Audubon invites members to our Board of Directors meetings. We meet every two months on the first Monday of the month at 5 PM via Zoom. The next meeting is October 3rd. If you are interested in attending board meetings, please email swnmaudubon@gmail.org. We will add you to the list to receive the agenda and zoom link a few days in advance of the meeting.

Stay tuned for an October Kids' Bird Walk!
Once the date gets closer, we will announce the exact date, place to meet and time here, on our Facebook page, and by email. Gather up your friends and family for a short walk looking for birds, bugs and any other critters we may encounter.

PAST EVENTS

April 23, 2022
Gila Earth Day x CDT Days
The high winds didn't dampen the spirits of our visitors to and volunteers at the Audubon table for the Gila Earth Day x Continental Divide Trail Celebration @ Gough Park. We made new acquaintances, reunited with old friends, gave out literature, and even sold out of our remaining copies of the New Mexico Bird Finding Guide, 3rd ed. Thanks to all who stopped by!

April 24, 2022
Accessible Outing at Silva Creek
Emily Pollum and John Gorey guided 10 bird watchers on this low-key outing in an emerging spring setting on a sunny Sunday. First-time and established members were fortunate to spot flitting warblers, a nesting Cooper's Hawk, noisy curve-billed thrashers, and a brilliantly red summer tanager.

May 28, 2022
Kids' Nature Walk
At our last Kids' Bird Walk in late May, we played Bug Bingo and had many interesting discoveries along San Vicente Creek. A few people were able to see the bright flash of a male Summer Tanager flying overhead, we checked on the status of a Common Black Hawk nest, and found a fallen songbird nest from last year.
