Red Cliffs Audubon Wednesday Outing/Confluence Park La Verkin

We will walk dirt-and-gravel pathways along the three converging streams: LaVerkin Creek, Ash Creek and the Virgin River. The route is mostly level, up to 2 miles depending on how far participants want to go. Bathrooms at the parking lot.

Target Species: This amazing riparian area attracts a variety of migrating passerines. In addition to resident roadrunner, quail, turkey, and three dove species, we’d reasonably expect to find chat, Black-headed and Blue Grosbeak, Summer and Western Tanager, Lazuli Bunting, Phainopepla, woodpeckers, White-throated Swift and swallows. “Bonus” birds could include Calliope Hummingbird (plus 4 other hummers) and up to 3 empid (little) flycatchers, plus 4 wren species, 5 warblers, 10 sparrow types!
