PEEC News:

Los Alamos resident and bird watcher Joe Fitzgibbon will lead a hike at 7 a.m. Saturday in Upper Water Canyon. This half-day trip will take birders about two miles along the bottom of the canyon, through a mosaic of burned and unburned areas. Sightings may include the empidonax flycatchers (Dusky, Hammond’s, and Cordilleran), wrens, Western Tanagers, Stellar’s Jays, Green-tailed Towhees, warblers and woodpeckers.

Fitzgibbon has always been passionate about the outdoors and the history of Los Alamos. Aside from working at Los Alamos National Laboratory until 2013, he holds the first and only sighting of a California Condor in Los Alamos.

The group will meet at the Los Alamos Nature Center and carpool to Water Canyon. Because it is limited to 12 people, register now to save a spot. Admission is free for Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) members and $5 for non-members.
