PEEC News:
PEEC invites all bird enthusiasts to participate in a unique birding experience, led by local birders Mary Parsaca and Mary Orr, during Dawn ’til Dusk Day at Los Luceros Historic Site.
Dawn ‘til Dusk Days fall the first Sunday of every month and these special birding excursions will continue through the fall. This event offers both novice and experienced birders the opportunity to explore the vast old-growth cottonwoods and Rio Grande habitat and encounter new bird species.
Located in Alcalde, Los Luceros Historic Site is home to more than 152 species and was once nominated as an Audubon Important Bird Area (IBA). The cultural site is a remarkable representation of New Mexico’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes.
The event is open to the public, and admission is free. Participants should bring binoculars, a camera (optional), snacks, and water. A limited number of binoculars will be available for lending. The birding walk is limited to only 15 participants, so be sure to register soon. Join PEEC for their first bird walk at Los Luceros at 7 a.m. April 2 to experience this birding opportunity firsthand.
